Strength and Muscular Endurance: Total Gym recruits the large stabilizer muscles of the abdomen and back in nearly every exercise movement. The result:
- Superior core strengthening and increased stability.
- The large muscles of the body work in concert with one another instead of independently, so that you experience enhanced physical performance and functional strength.
- Daily activities become easier to perform.
- Resistance training, such as that achieved with Total Gym, can improve bone density and decrease risk of injury due to bone weakness.
Flexibility: Total Gym is the only fitness product that uses body weight against gravity resistance to stretch the body's muscles and joints through a complete range of motion, improving flexibility in all directions.
- Improved function is the result of being able to move freely in multiple directions without pain and discomfort.
- Flexibility is vital to injury prevention and sports performance.
- Total Gym reduces the need for additional flexibility training because nearly every exercise involves stretching.
Cardiovascular Endurance: Increasing your metabolism.
- Having a healthy aerobic capacity leads to higher metabolism, increased energy levels and lower risk of cardiovascular disease.
- Simply by incorporating circuit training techniques or practicing high repetition-low rest sets, Total Gym provides safe and efficient aerobic conditioning that combines the lower body, upper body and trunk. Most aerobic exercise machines such as stationary bikes, treadmills and stair climbers serve only to condition the lower body.
Changing Your Body Composition: Inch and Weight Loss are the result of changing your body fat into lean muscle mass. This is a natural result of exercise, but occurs quickly in the functional environment provided by Total Gym.
- Total Gym maximizes the fat burning effect of exercise because it challenges the muscular strength and the aerobic condition of the body at the same time. The result is visible changes in body composition. These changes can occur quickly and safely. The beauty is, Total Gym allows you to tone all major muscle groups in the body during every workout.
- Toning muscle while you shed excess fat has an added bonus. It prevents the "sagging" skin look that can accompany weight loss.
- You can target problem areas with Total Gym, with more than 120 different focused exercises for fitness.
- As your body adapts to the exercises and becomes capable of performing more work, you can incrementally increase resistance. Total Gym angles are easily adjustable. As the angle goes up, the inches go down!
