As promised in my December blog, here are two exercises for your Total Gym exercise repertoire that utilize the Leg Pulley System cable attachments (for Total Gym XLS model click here).
If you did not read last month’s blog, you astute trainers and exercisers are probably wondering how my favorite client (my wife Elba) can perform these exercises without the cable pulleys topping out? This is a great application of the cable extensions that come with the leg pulleys. By using them to extend the length of the arm pulleys, you can be creative and add to your exercise library.
I love the proprioception challenge required in the Kneeling Forward position. In addition, it requires functional recruitment of the core stabilization muscles to create an anchor for balance and stability. The difference between having a “strong core” and knowing how to use the core functionally is a concept I try to teach all my clients, especially my golfers. But be very cautious as this is a challenging position and requires good balance, body control and body awareness. Be sure to practice at a lower level on your Total Gym as it is a little tricky getting into and out of the position safely.
I look forward to seeing what exercises you create when applying the extension cables to the arm pulleys! Leave us a comment below to share your new exercises.
Happiness and health in 2011!
