Total Gym Weekly Workout, Running – Upper Body Function

Total Gym Weekly Workout, Running – Upper Body Function

A couple weeks ago we talked about running and lower body training. This week we are revisiting that topic, focusing on upper body training.  This is great information on body function and the exercises are not only for runners but also for those of you that prefer walking, hiking or jogging.  Enjoy!

Tom’s Log – October 1, 2010

Tom here from Sorrento in southern Italy.  My wife, Joy, and I arrived here yesterday. We’re enjoying some downtime before our annual Total Gym International Summit in Paestum for our distributors and GRAVITY Master Trainers at the end of October.

Speaking of international, with the success of Total Gym in rehab and consumer fitness for the past 36 years, many of our consumer customers don’t know that we have launched our GRAVITY Training on Total Gym program in over 23 countries!

GRAVITY Training on Total Gym is a multi faceted program for fitness professionals. 30 to 45 minute GRAVITY Small Group, Pilates and Personal Training routines are offered in a Club or Studio environment. These same workouts are available to our consumer fitness customers through GRAVITY CLUBHOUSE!! It’s free to join and keep your eyes open for all the newest GRAVITY DVD releases.

Back at Total Gym, I wanted to recognize marketing specialist Bonnie Lee, who just donated 14 inches of her hair to Locks of Love. We’re proud of Total Gym employees who selflessly help others. Thanks Bonnie!

I want to end with a Total Gym customer testimonial from Patricia in PA. Thanks for writing us Patricia!

I love my Total Gym! In less than 2 months, I have dropped 2 jean sizes! I am 53 and knew I needed to do more weight training but the gym I belonged to was just not cutting it. So I dumped my gym membership and I am rocking it now! I bought my Total Gym in the strangest place…a yard sale! I was lucky enough to pick it up for $20.00…I swear! I wanted one forever but I am a single mom, unemployed at the moment and I have 2 daughters in college….so I have to pay for books, LSATS etc. This was a blessing and I am looking quite good! I am getting abs!!!!! I am a former Mrs. Pennyslvania and I look better now than when I competed in 2002! I LOVE MY TOTAL GYM!

Yours in good health,

Tom Campanaro

Summer-Inspired Total Gym Surfing Exercises

Surfing aficionados this post is for you! Tis’ the season to get back on the board and Total Gym can help you get ripped and ready to ride the waves this summer. You know, I wanted to include some surfer lingo in this post, so I did a little online research and came across Riptionary.com. Wouldn’t you know there’s an online dictionary dedicated to surfer lingo! I digress…

Total Gym is the perfect piece of equipment to train for surfing. It requires you to recruit your core muscles to stay balanced while riding a killer swell (I had to throw in some lingo here).

Here’s our GRAVITY This Season video with some surfer-inspired Total Gym exercises. GRAVITYThisSeason_Surfing – Part 1

This video is from our GRAVITYClubhouse.com collection. Membership to GRAVITYClubhouse is free and you can gain access to more Total Gym GRAVITY videos and DVDs with new exercises you can do at home. Once you log in, check out the All Programming and Online Extras to get started shaping up for summer!

The “GRAVITY Experiment” on Total Gym

For today’s “Fitness Wisdom Wednesday,” I wanted to share a real person’s journey to weight loss on Total Gym.

Jessie Carter is a physical therapist and owner of High Pointe Rehab out of Clarksville, TN. The 33-year-old mother of three purchased a Total Gym PowerTower, a motorized, commercial version of the Total Gym, in November to use with her patients. But she also saw the value in the using the PowerTower to lose her college 15 (15 years later)!

Jessie recently completed one of our Total Gym GRAVITY training courses, which, for those who don’t know, GRAVITY is the fitness programming for Total Gym. She began to implement new GRAVITY exercises with her patients and she also decided to try them out herself — and blog about it!

For 60 days, Jessie is charting her weight loss journey, which she has coined the “GRAVITY Experiment.”

I thought some of you may be inspired by Jessie’s story, so here’s a link to her blog http://jessiecarter.wordpress.com/ to follow along at your leisure – and maybe even offer some words of encouragement along the way.

If you want to start your own “GRAVITY Experiment” on your Total Gym at home, sign up to join GRAVITYClubhouse today. Membership is free and you can gain access to the latest GRAVITY workout DVDs, an exercise library, and, for fitness professionals, find a GRAVITY training course in your area!

Total Gym wishes you luck with your GRAVITY experiment, Jessie!
