There are a ton of great workouts you can do with your Total Gym. I've been using mine for a few years now and continue to be impressed by its versatility.
Over this time, I've developed a Total Gym workout instruction guide that works all of the major muscle areas that I want.
To get ideas for your own workout, I highly recommend watching this video...
My Total Gym workout is as follows:
3 Sets Of Overhead Triceps Extension (as in the video)
3 Sets Of Bicep Curls - This isn't in the video, but basically, you sit facing the side where the bars are attached, and do regular curls that you would regularly do with barbells.
3 Sets Of Shoulder Press (as in the video)
3 Sets Arm Pullover - This is absolutely terrific for your abs!
That's pretty much it! You may be thinking, why not do more? I have what's called "Fun Friday" where I pretty much do 10-15 exercises. But for my typical workout, I only focus on these four.
I'm a big believer that less is more. I have a great workout for my triceps, a great workout for my biceps, and a great workout for my shoulders and abs.
I just don't care about bulging back muscles! :-)
If you are looking for a full workout, you can add the Upright Row which is probably the best back workout you can get for the Total Gym.
Also, you may want to add in the Single Leg Lateral Squat midway through your workout. This gives your arms a rest while your legs get some of the action.
The key is to start small. Develop a simple workout. I think it's better to do three exercises five times than it is to do five exercises three times. But do something you enjoy and will have fun with. Record your progress! And don't be afraid to modify your workout as you go along.
I hope this Total Gym workout instruction guide has been useful. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
