My wife and I bought a total gym off of craigslist last night. Today I'll be setting it up and learning some exercises on it. Hopefully it'll help me with strength training and toning while also letting my wife get started with lighter excercises. What I like about the model we got is additional weights can be added to allow training against greater resistance than just body weight. It also has a Pilates bar which might be interesting. Bright and sunny here today but cold. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

I have a Total Gym. In fact, I used it this morning. It's the perfect machine for weight loss. It's so smooth, great for high rep workouts and stretching. I had to rebuild mine a couple of years ago due to wear. I found all the parts online. You and your wife will love it. My biggest challenge is to use it often enough...

I also owned a total gym years ago. We sold it because we moved and now have a room dedicated to work outs. I loved the total gym. So much you can do with it. You and your wife will love it.

Thanks everyone, lots of encouragement, I'm looking forward to finding out what we can do with the new equipment. Didn't get a chance to do anything withbit, my daughter's car broke down so I was busy with that...bad starter but was able to replace it.

I like those. They are fun to use. The only problem I had is that it hurt my wrists. I think I tried to do too much too soon tho. Hope you have fun.
