We received a complimentary Total Gym XLS for the purposes of this series; this post also contains affiliate links. This article is an account of our personal experience only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, prevent or cure any medical condition. Always consult with physician before embarking on any fitness program.
We’ve been using our Total Gym XLS for 2 weeks now. Jai and I took our measurements this morning and compared them to our measurements taken the first day of using the gym, September 4th, using the measurement calculating spreadsheet we made. Here’s our results:
I wasn’t surprised to see that my arms had reduced by .7″, because I’ve been noticing a difference in how they appear for about a week. I haven’t been able to really work out for several months, and I was really frustrated that my arms had lost some of their tone and definition. This is the first thing that has snapped back now that I can exercise regularly again, so I’m very pleased!
Both Jai and I have had a great time getting to know this machine and what it can do. You can get a really intense workout in a short period of time – Jai’s been working his whole body, while I’ve been doing mainly my arms and abs. I’m not rushing too much with the legs since I don’t want to put unnecessary strain on my knees; we’re both conscious of not overdoing it in this first month so that we don’t pull anything by going too gung-ho. Remember, I’m the girl who dislocated both her kneecaps by going too hard on the stair machine! 😉
Our workouts don’t take a lot of time – maybe half an hour or less, depending on what we’re doing – but they’re high-intensity and we can really feel it afterwards. It’s so cool to have something so efficient; I really see how much time gets eaten up by driving to the local gym, getting ready, and so on. With Total Gym, I can do my workout while I run a load of laundry! I can also do things I could never do in a gym, like workout while wearing a face masque and a skirt. Yes, that happened, and it was awesome!
So far, we’ve been using the workout instructional cards as our guide for the exercises. These are really nice, because it gives you time to study the posture and form as you learn the technique. Now that I’m getting comfortable with the basic movements, I’m going to start watching the DVDs so I can start to incorporate more exercises and tips into my workouts. There are so many different ways that you can use the machine, and it really does an impressive job of working all your muscle groups. We’re excited to already be feeling some results, and looking forward to having such an easy way to workout, especially as the weather gets progressively worse and we enter into the hectic Fall/Winter work season.
What has your workout routine been like this week, readers?
wow, that’s stellar!! now i want one!!
also, a pony and a unicorn.
but this would be a good start.
LOL Brett!! I’m sure riding a unicorn would be a good workout too, although this is a lot simpler. 🙂
My work out this week??? Not quite as good as yours, but hey, I will be traveling a bit, so do air miles count for anything? lol
My workout this week has not been that great but I am going to try to do better!
That’s so fantastic about your arms! I love it when the workout is so quickly noticeable!
You are inspiring me. I need to get in shape and my excuse was that it was too hot outside, but really, there is a lot to do inside if you try. I’d love to try Total Gym!
My workout this week has consisted of 20 minutes of yoga…. and I was shaking from it — SAD!! LOL I am going to get back into though! This is awesome and glad to see you guys are seeing results already!
I can’t get over how quickly you are seeing results. That is awesome!
Love that you fit a good intense workout into a shorter time with this!
Hi, I’m Julie and my dr just chided me this week about my lack of exercise the past month. Sigh. I need one of these! 🙂
i have an older total gym system and LOVE it!
I have been busy with school, so not much time for workouts for me. I do walk my kids to school in the morning though so I get some exercise.
That is great that you are already noticing results!
Esto es importante descartarlo acudiendo a un especialista si el problema persiste y no se identifican otros factores.
Especialmente el fumar y un consumo de alcohol elevado son agravantes. Consiste sencillamente en inyectar en el pene una sustancia vaso dilatadora para producir la erección.
