The Total Gym can be used for core training, which works the abs, obliques, lower back and glutes. By strengthening the core, you'll prevent lower back pain, improve posture and coordination, improve balance and perform daily tasks with no problems. Because the Total Gym workout is done on a glideboard, the core is targeted during the regiment.

One of the perks is that you will no longer have to wait in line for machines at the gym. In fact you can get an entire body workout with the Total Gym. Of course, you need to be motivated to use the Total Gym for something other than putting your laundry on.

There's no assembly necessary, and the Total Gym folds up easily, making it simple to put away with no hassle.

Although it is not as costly as the Bowflex or other home gyms, the Total Gym will set you back at least $399. They are currently offering a 30 Day Risk-Free Trial for just $49.95. With the trial, you pay less than $50. If you aren't happy with the results, you can return the Total Gym within 30 days. If you are satisfied with the Total Gym, you will be billed the remainder of the balance.
