Total Gym...anyone?

[Gia al Qamar]

My holiday gift to myself was a Total Gym...
I love it.
I really enjoy lifting free weights...find that it strengthens quickly and this gym is really built to do a myriad of exercises!
I've started using it as a Pilates reformer too...fantastic workout!
Just wondering if anyone else has one...is using it...I want to get the most out of it...looking for cool exercises in addition to the ones they show!

Great topic idea!

I have a knock-off version that we haven't touched in over a year. we are re-arranging the house to create a workout/sewing room so that we don't have to go to the cold basement to use it.

We've got one, too. Love it!! (Unfortunately, we can't use it right now because we just don't have the space in our current house.) My favorite way to use it was for pilates (it came with a pilates workout dvd).

I think I have the same DVD...it's instructed by a blond with short hair...English accent? I've enjoyed it...but I am not very challenged by it...I was hoping that someone had suggestions about printed routines or DVDs that specifically use a reformer or the Total Gym.
I really do love it tho...I'm enjoying my workouts!!!

Yup. That's the one. Wish I could help more, but it's been a while since I used it.
