Back to the Personal Use Page Total Gym is an angular variable resistance device. It uses your body weight against the pull of gravity as the load, which means Total Gym doesn't lock you into one position or movement. You can train in all three planes of motion: front to back, side-to-side and rotational. Total Gym allows a full, free range of motion of the joints, and builds body strength by working major muscle groups together in concert with the core stabilizers of the abdomen and back. Functional exercises (click for details in new window) create stronger, leaner muscles than isolation exercises, because they encourage the muscles of the body to work together imitating life activities. Total Gym helps you develop the muscular strength, muscular endurance, cardiovascular endurance and flexibility that can dramatically improve your body shape and composition. Whether you want to build lean muscle mass, to gain size or to replace excess fat, Total Gym will carry you to success.  Back to the Personal Use Page
