Anyone have and use a Total gym. Tell me about it. Does it work?

Answer 1

Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu's even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)

Answer 2

The total gym is the best piece of home equiptment out there for the price. I used to use it 3-4 times a week, and it worked wonderfully. It is easy to set up and put away (though the one I used was always out...) The only reason I stopped using it is because it didn't belong to me and I moved out. I also have access to the gym at my school now and the total gym will never replace a full set of professional equiptment, but it is a great at-home device...

Expensive? I guess you've never looked in to a something like a soloflex or bowflex or any other multi-purpose machine ;-) Or a gym membership...

Answer 3

Yes, I like the total gym alot. We used it at a gym where I worked before I moved. It can be at a beginner level or you can make it more difficult, it is not a easy program for sure, and you will get results if you are consistent. Be sure you will use it before you get it tho, as it's expensive, and you don't want to get it and slide it away somewhere.

Answer 4

Ya Chuck Norris uses it all the time. Unfortunately, it doesn't work very well, as it hasn't decapitated him yet.
