Total Gym - Is The Total Gym System Right For You?

Total Gym - Review

You have probably seen The Total Gym on television or listened to an ad on the radio.
The infomercial and commercials often star Chuck Norris and Christie Brinkley, whom are both known for having fit bodies and a healthy lifestyle.

But you probably didn't know that Chuck Norris has been using this home gym for over 30 years (yes, 30 years) to help build and keep lean muscle, stay strong and keep his body firm and masculine. I find it hard to believe that Chuck just turned 71 on March 10th 2011

Christie, as you may have imagined does a totally different workout on the Total Gym than Chuck, and Christie has been using the Total Gym for over 10 years to help stay slim, trim and keep her body curvy and feminine.

You have to admit, that both Chuck and Christie look great and look better than most people half their age and yes, they both believe in having a healthy diet is essential.

On this page we will take a look at the Total Gym, the exercises that can be performed on it, what results can be expected and more - so that you can decide whether the Total Gym is right for you.

Short on Space? The Total Gym Will Fit

Strength Training Even In Small Spaces

The Total Gym folds flat for storage against a wall, in a closet or under a bed. It actually folds down to just a little it larger than an ironing board.

The Total Gym also comes fully assembled so you can start your first workout in just minutes after receiving your Total Gym.
But please get to know your Total Gym by watching the DVD that is included along with all paperwork that comes with your product.

It's much better to use your Total Gym correctly and to perform the exercises the right way, then to just rush to use it and find yourself getting injured. So please although you may be excited to try it out - be safe - take your time and get to know your machine.

Using The Total Gym For Pilates

With the Total Gym XLS you can use the Total Gym like you would a Pilates reformer.

You can also do many of the standard Total Gym exercises however, you will keep the incline lower than you would to perform the exercise.

This is the way that Christie stays in shape and the way that you may also like to use the Total Gym if you are just looking to slenderize.

To sculpt your body you will keep your Total Gym at a lower incline.
This will allow you to firm, tone and slenderize without building large muscles, just long and lean muscle.

With the Total Gym XLS You Can Perform Over 80 Different Exercises

Home Gym

With the Total Gym XLS you can perform over 80 different exercises, targeting all areas of your body, isolating muscle groups.

Although on the surface the Total Gym appears to be just a muscle builder and strengthener, you can also use the Total Gym for your cardio workouts by shortening the time between each exercise. This will help to build muscle, strengthen your cardio vascular system and blast fat.

Unlike slower cardio like walking which doesn't burn fat, when you strength train you'll boost your metabolism and burn more calories each day. As you add more lean muscle to your body your body will burn more calories as it take more calories to sustain muscle as it does fat.

Total Gym Home Gym

If you are new to strength training and have not worked out for a while you already know that you should start slowly and then work up as you gain strength and endurance.

However what you may not be aware of is that muscle weighs more than fat does, so if you are a scale watcher you may want to avoid using the scale and let the way your clothes fit be your guide if you are looking to lose weight in addition to building muscle.
Although muscle does weigh more than fat it is more compact so if you use a scale to watch your weight you may see your numbers go up while your body slims down.

With strength training you can build muscle while burning fat (yes, you can do both at the same time).

When you use the Total Gym you can isolate your:
Abs
Arms
Back
Chest
Legs
Shoulders
or do a full Total Body workout.

There are 3 different product versions available for home use.
The Total Gym XLS with over 80 possible different exercises
The Total Gym 3000 with over 60 possible exercises
The Total Gym 2000 with 40 different possible exercises

There is also the GTS Professional model that allows users to perform over 200 different exercises.

Do celebrity endorsements make a difference as to whether you may or may not purchase a product?

We have all seen products in the marketplace with a celebrity as a spokesperson. Some times the celebrity promotes the product because they use and like it and other times they use a celebrity voice over and the celebrity may or may not have knowledge of the product.
