Brief History of the Total Gym
Total Gym type machines have been used in the fitness industry since the 1970's, when the initial concept was first invented and introduced by Tom Campanaro and his partners in San Diego, California.
While these machines were first embraced by physical therapists and other medical professionals, they became mainstream in 1997 when television informercials began airing, helmed by the very recognizable personalities of Chuck Norris and Christie Brinkley.

Unique Benefits of Total Gym Exercises
Total Gym machines are part of the one-machine-for-multiple-exercises group of fitness equipment. While other strength training equipment are specifically built for one or a few different exercises, you can use the total gym to workout the entire body. As such, the amount of floor real estate is quite limited by comparison since you can only have one such machine in your home gym instead of purchasing one for each exercise.
Another advantage to using total gym exercises while working out is the ease of use that the machine provides. Since there are no weights to manipulate such as there are in dumbbell or barbell exercises you'll be able to breeze from one exercise to the next with relative ease. This is made possible because you modify the resistance level simply by changing the angle of the glide board (i.e. higher height for more difficulty and horizontal height for least difficulty).

Differences Between Total Gym Product Lines
You'll find that there are several models of total gym machines in the marketplace, made by several different manufacturers.
From within a single manufacturer, you'll likely find that the more money a particular model costs, the better built it is and the more stable and fluid the workout will be. Another difference you'll see in that higher priced models will probably ship with optional accessories and attachments that will provide you with a greater variety of exercises to do on the machine.
At the highest point of the spectrum you'll even find models that come with motors, enabling you to change the height of the glide board automatically, without you manually getting involved. But one thing to remember is that every total gym type machine out there uses the same core principle of using gravity and a glide board in order to provide a very commendable workout experience.

Most people who have home exercise equipment own one or two pieces, so workout options are limited. When you join a gym, you have access to a wide variety of exercise equipment, including free weights, weight machines, treadmills, elliptical cross trainers, stationery bikes, and more. You can easily alternate activities, making it easy to vary your routine for maximum health benefits.Most gyms have a regular schedule of classes that members can attend. With your fitness center membership, you may be able to participate in a variety of group training sessions, including aerobics, kick boxing, yoga, spinning, and other types of classes.If you schedule gym time into your daily routine, you'll be more likely to exercise regularly. Treat your scheduled gym time just like any other appointment, and don't stand yourself up. Let your family members know that specific times are blocked off for your fitness appointment, and make yourself available to them at other times...ABDUL RAHMAN
