There is no right answer to this question. The best exercise is the one that you will do. Since you have a workout buddy to keep you honest and motivated that would be the exercise you both will do.

When I asked my body builder son what he thought, he said no. He drives to the gym and uses that time to relax. That's not me. I am never going to be a body builder. So, I bought a Total Gym off of Craigslist awhile back. Other than a one inch tear it was like new. Most of the Total Gym YouTube videos are infomercials or…

There are a lot of people that buy fitness equipment and stop using it. I purchased one on Craig's List and could easily flip it if it doesn't work out. I'm here to stay motivated. My…

(45 lb.) My short term goal is to get an easy to moderate TG routine I can use to learn the TG equipment and grow with it. Also,…

Just brought a Total Gym model 1700 Club purchased off of Craig's List. I know that motivation is the key. I search ""Total Gym" beginner workout on Youtube with the thought of finding trainer I liked. I figured I could grow into it once I got more familiar. I also have a stationary bike for my cardio but it is easy fall…
