Total Gym 1000

Would you like to own a “universal gym”--one weight-resistance machine that does it all? One machine that can strengthen virtually any part of the body? Better still, would you like that same machine to provide a respectable cardiovascular workout?

You could spend several hundred dollars and get a decent Weider “multi-station” gym for weight resistance (I’ve owned one myself for several years). Alternatively, you could spend more than twice as much for any of the “club quality” counterparts to Weider gyms (see my review of the Parabody 250 home gym). Or perhaps you’d prefer one of the Bowflex machines (see the scores of “Epinions” on the various models). Of course, unless you chance upon an acceptable used unit, all the above machines include steep price tags; moreover, some folks’ cramped quarters won’t easily accommodate such expansively configured equipment. And these machines aren’t really designed to provide a briskly moving cardiovascular workout.

The Total Gym 1000 is essentially fully assembled when you first take it out of the box.  The sheer simplicity of Total Gym's “gliding incline board” design has its advantages. There are no electronics, hence no batteries to replace. Unlike many machines, there is no tension or spring that you must remember to release after each workout. The uncomplicated rollers of the "glide board" involve minimal friction.
The Total Gym is endlessly versatile in that you can easily adjust how much resistance to apply to your muscles and joints. For example, when doing “butterfly” arm pulls, if the current incline feels too steep, you don’t necessarily have to get up and adjust it. Instead, you can simply place your feet flat on the floor (as you continue to lie on your back and do the arm pulls) and let your leg muscles absorb some of the stress; the result is that you can determine exactly what feels right for your arm pulls. To increase the arm workout, compensate less with your legs.

When doing such exercises as arm pulls (using the Total Gym’s handgrips and vinyl-coated cables), you can also instantly change the angle of motion.
