The best exercise /compack equipment
on March 21, 2011
Posted by: Anonymous
from Morton Grove, Illinois
First, when begining the program my weight loss plateaued for 14 days from 3 pounds a week to 0 and I was on a low carb diet. It is now beginning to work with 2 pounds a week. It is important to hear this when beginning a strenth training program so not to become discouraged. I know it is a muscle weight and toning gain. I use the machine everyday but think taking a day off is better for the muscles to recup. I am beginning my third week. In general I like the equipment. The foam tears pretty quickly on the bar and needs to be taped on the ends and the pad on the foot plate makes noise like it will come loose soon. Also the foot plate seems not to be tight enough in the base. My last comment is that the slide hits the bolts on the rail especially when doing one foot leg squats. There should be something to guide the slide up and down past the bolts so as not to shift back and forth in the upward position. But, I have seen and done a lot of things at health clubs including swimming and even though I have a lifetime membership at one club, this beats everything because you can do the exercise at home and not waste time changing clothes and waiting to use equipment or the pool at the gym. Once I become more fit, I believe the total gym will be all I need. I am 64 in May and believe the total gym will help me obtain my weight goal. Additionally my muscles are getting stronger. Lastly I began my low carb diet and added the Total Gym 9 weeks ago because I had a higher than normal blood sugar level. With the Total Gym and my low carb diet I lost 28 pounds. I have 80 pounds to go and I never lost weight easily. Eating correctly is very important and resistance exercise appears to be next. My blood suger is almost normal now. I can say that I have waited 40 years to find something that works for me. I like the Total Gym.

Best Investment for 2011

I have always wanted to invest in the Total Gym. Now that I have one, it is the best investment I've made in 2011. I use Total Gym after my 7 mile walk. It's great--it helps me stretch out tight spots and focus on areas that are not covered in my walk.

50 yrs never lost a pound until now!

I love the Total Gym, it is easy yet challenging and I look forward to working out. In the past thirty years I have never been able to lose even one pound. But I lost ten pounds just using the Total gym three times a week. I now believe I will be able to lose the weight (100 lbs). Thank you

I'm 6'5" and almost 260 lbs and was worried it might not fit me or be sturdy enough.It is very comfortable for me to use.It's also a better workout than I expected.I thought I'd be up at the higher levels to start but level 3 is a good workout for me and I'm not that out of shape.I'd recommend this for anyone who wants to build muscle or stay toned up.
