I just got
through a fifteen-minute work out on my Total Gym.
Occasionally
I post about products I like, or don’t like.
I don’t get any kick-back of any kind from the products. For me it is just sharing my personal opinion
of a product in a time of corporate hype.
Many times,
I have posted about my Total Gym 1400; but I feel so enthusiastic about its
benefits that I am posting again.
I bought my
total gym in 2008 and paid just over $200 for it. As some of you know, I am in my
eighties. I have used the total gym for
fifteen minutes a day, occasionally missing a few days, but not for long stretches.
I do three
sets of five exercises facing forward and seven single sets of exercises facing
backwards. I take no time between
exercise sets, so end up with a good cardiac workout.
I hate to
think what my body would look like and what my strength and endurance, such as
it is, would be without my total gym.
The Total
Gym 1400 can be purchased through Walmart for $249.00. The 1400 is a good basic gym – all you need. Some of the Total Gym products with bells and
whistles can run $800.00 or more; but they are no better than the 1400, just
more glitzy.
With the total gym you can pick the exercises and the resistance that best suits you.
The Ol’Buzzard
is just telling you: you can do a routine of ten to fifteen-minutes of exercise
right out of bed each morning and your day will be better. You will be healthier. Your body will be toned. It is one way to rage rage against the dying
of the light.

Your discipline is inspiring!
ReplyDeleteNice recommendation, especially since it's not sponsored post! Or for the bigge$t fancie$t version. Now the question is do *I* have the discipline, or would it end up sitting lonely by the treadmill? I found it far easier mentally to do my walking/jogging outside than inside on the treadmill.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your didactic lecture on personal health and fitness, and for giving Total Gym an unofficial plug.
ReplyDeleteHow come my comments aren't saving? I for one applaud you for staying with this machine for such a long time. Most people buy them and put them out at the next yard sale.
