You can change your body composition, gain muscular strength and endurance, improve flexibility and cardiovascular endurance with one machine—Total Gym. Get a safe workout without fear of injury. The glideboard fully supports your body, minimizing compression on the joints and back. Since you are the weight, there is no load to the skeletal structure from lifting external weights. This means less risk of injury. Many exercises, particularly ones that increase abdominal and back strength, actually help to offset the negative effects of joint compression. This is one reason physical therapists have successfully used Total Gym for rehabilitation. See improved performance in all your daily activities and increase energy. Total Gym uses the concept of functional training, which recreates the movements of real life activity. Isolation exercises are possible with Total Gym, but its functional superiority comes from recruiting multiple muscle groups, in multi-plane movements, during each exercise. You end up benefiting from a shorter, more efficient workout that produces superior performance results. Get great abs WHILE you train other muscle groups. When performing sitting or kneeling exercises your body naturally recruits the stabilizing muscles of the stomach and back. This improves core stability with every movement, even while you are focusing on other body parts. That result is abdominal training with nearly every exercise! See greater flexibility. Save time by stretching WHILE you exercise. Gravity resistance combined with an unrestricted range of motion lengthens and strengthens the muscles in every exercise. This is the essence of Total Gym’s effectiveness. You are never working against an outside force. You are simply letting the pull of gravity provide your resistance for strength training and your assistance for stretching. That’s why so many customers claim huge improvements in mobility. Get up and go. It’s easy to switch from one exercise to the next quickly and safely. By simply changing your body position on the glideboard, from sitting to kneeling to lying, you can quickly move through your exercise routine. Often you can simply change your hand positions to move into the next exercise. And, changing the resistance level takes seconds. Get more play time. Do in half an hour what others take an hour to do. Because Total Gym offers more than one benefit each time you workout, it saves time. - You are using multiple muscle groups together, functionally. - You can switch from one exercise to the next easily. - You are able to stretch and build strength in the same work out. - Your body recruits the abdominal muscles with most exercises. Total Gym is the most efficient workout available, only 6 to 30 minutes a workout. You get better results in less time— better than free weights and single station machines, less time than conventional workouts or classes at the club.
