I'm about 120lbs overweight, and was only able to do 4 of these -,- but it gives me something to strive for, thank you for the easy to follow video also.
Alright there! Have you heard the talk about - fast abs magic (search on google)? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my cooworker got beautiful 6 pack abs and lost lots of fat with it.
Just wanna say great vid Tom, and the largest part of the equation is you DIET. I lost about 10-12 lbs. in 2 weeks just by cutting out all refined sugars ( ice cream, sodas, pop tarts, candies, ect.. ) and going to a much greater water intake throughout the day as well as not eating any carbs past 5:00 pm. I incorporated a lot of vegetables. I dont have a full size kitchen so I get most of my veggies in the can. But green beans, black beans ect are great with any meal.
@mrdefkon1 If you wanna take it a step further try to substitute meat a few times a week with tofu and veggie burgers. Lots of protein without the fat and cholesterol. I'm %100 vegeterian now but I noticed I had more energy for my workouts when I started to phase meat out of my diet, especially beef. If tofu isn't for you then at least cut out red meat.
Hello there! Have you considered the maximus muscle 247 workout (google it)? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my cooworker gained a lot of muscle with it.
Great Job. I was doing P90X and had great results but I got hurt (No joke my Gulf War injury did not like P90X, bad leg) I liked the Total Gym and for me it helps me get back into it. Have you played around with a good cardio workout on the TG yet?
wow that is awesome. my dad has an older total gym that he used back in the 90's and he lost like 80 pounds on it in 4 months by using it everday for 20 minutes and eating right. I would like to start it. If u have any tips for me just comment me back
Regular routine, I have worked up to 100 of these with no breaks in between.
Yes, I got my abs from the Total Gym and nothing else when this was filmed.
My gym does squeak a bit, but turn up your music then! Thanks for all the positive feedback on here guys. I'm no pro, just a former fat guy who likes to help others and show that it can be done
Hello Total Trainer and Total Gym users, would any of you please tell me if your machine creaks and squeaks and how long you have used it? I almost got the Total trainer but I recently stumbled upon a video showing a squeaky as hell unit, definitely a deal breaker!! The gliding on this unit is rather pleasant. Please help a girl out??? I've posted this in a lot of places, sorry if you keep seeing me everywhere :P
Great Work man. I love the Total Gym and really appreciate you posting these informative videos. Would love to see your weekly workout routine if you get the chance. Keep up the good work.
That is a great workout, but you have to remember to bring your knees to your chest!!!
IF YOU ONLY RAISE YOUR LEGS 90 DEGREES LIKE MOST OF US WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO WORK OUR LOWER ABS, THEN YOU ARE NOT WORKING THEM!!!
Yes, you are working something raising your legs up 90 degrees, but that is only your hip flexors getting the benefit of the workout. To actually get your lower abs working you NEED to bring your knees into your chest as close as you can get them!
great! I'm a mom looking to tone the lower abs post baby. I wasn't sure what to do with my toatl gym. thanks so much for trying it out and letting me know what really works
Excellent! I used both this routine and your other crossover crunches from the other video to finish off my workout today on the Total Gym. Thanks a lot. I really like both of them.
I'm trying hard to build muscle with my abs, but I only have a total gym to work with, and I really have no Idea on what to do to work the abs. This gives me an idea on what I need to do to get them, and how many to start with
If you can give me some tips on how to work my upper body more, using the total gym, I would really appreciate it. Thanks
I'm 14, and I've been doing mma for 6 years now - I'm fairly serious about it. I also work out a lot, but the only equipment I have as such at the moment are 5kg dumbbells - i usually do bicep curls, upright rows, pullovers etc with those. Apart from that i can only really do exercises that rely on my own body weight - pushups, crunches, squats etc. Do you think I should buy a totalgym? I've been pondering it for some time, but i really want to get people's opinions before I dish out Cheers
