Can't be all bad if Chuck Norris uses it

What's that old saying "A journey of a 1000 miles begins with just 1 step". The is no fitness equipment or gym, ect out there that's worth a damn if it's not used, so be proud of what you have and what you are able to achieve.

take a look at Skyler King's channel on YouTube. He has taken his Total Gym to another level. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=skyler+king

I agree Sk.17, notice that Chuck doesn't really have a body builders body even after all these years of using the product. He does seem to be nicely toned for his age. It takes a lot more reps on the Total Gym than commercial gym equipment but I still can work until exhaustion and burn some calories...

Jeannieselby you are so right. I have had my machine for 20 years and didn't fully appreciate it until I started going to a commercial gym again. Sure I got in some good workouts with it but didn't do enough reps to reach exhaustion. A gym membership is the same way. They both are of little benefit if not used...

Thanks Katsolo!!! I checked out the link you suggested and it is to the best YouTube fitness instructor using a Total Gym I have seen. I subscribed immediately. Here's a link to one of his upper body workouts....

I like him and it's better than most of the stuff out there. I'm not a body builder, but a lot of the basic exercises were too easy on the TG site. He takes it up quite a few notches.

Katsolo, I have to agree with you. Thanks for the link. I like how he puts a lot of emphasis on form. I'm amazed at the difference achieved when using correct form. It's hard to believe he got all those muscles on a TG. I don't think so...Lol I love the way he explains how each movement works different muscle groups. Thanks again!!!

Thanks Bearnoggin, we are on the same page! I get some of my best workouts in my yard. Cut the grass and I get steps. Trim the hedges and I'm getting an upper body workout. Legs, I don't know what works them, but mine get tired too. I still like tired and do a little extra...

I find it difficult to track total gym calories burned. How do you calculate them
