Maximize the 14 Body Positions on Your Total Gym! – Position 1 Seated Forward

Maximize the 14 Different Body Positions on Your Total Gym!

Position #1 – Seated Forward

Hello Total Gym Team! It’s Master Trainer JayDee here to show you how to make your workouts more Time-Efficient. The benefit for you is spending less time working out and more time enjoying all that added energy exercise gives you, doing what you love.

This is Part 1 of a 7-Part series that will cover all 14 body positions, so stay tuned.

One of the biggest benefits of the Total Gym is its impressive versatility. You can do hundreds of different exercises utilizing all the body positions. You can easily change the resistance from exercise to exercise by simply changing the level. You can remove the squad stand, which opens additional exercises like lunges, reverse and side lunges, yoga downward dog into a dynamic plank, and the list goes on and on.

And don’t even get me started with all the wonderful accessories you can add to your total gym!

But today’s focus is Time Efficiency. When I certify other personal trainers on the Total Gym, I have them create a client routine that minimizes equipment and body position changes. Here is the most valuable tip I would teach them: Once you get your client into a body position, maximize the number of exercises you can do there!

And this is what you’ll learn in this video series. The benefit is maximizing your results and minimizing your time.

I think you’ll agree, time is life’s most precious resource. Saving time is probably one of the reasons you enjoy working out at home on your Total Gym in the first place. If you add up all the time you saved by not going to the gym, it can add up quickly.

Let’s say you only live 10 minutes away from the gym. Not bad, right? So that’s 20 minutes round-trip. Now had another 15 minutes finding a parking spot and getting in and out of the gym. Then there is check-in and making your way to the locker room to store your stuff. Now, add the time going from machine to machine just to work one body part. Then there’s always the chance that the machine you want to use is already occupied. You’ll have to waste time waiting until they’re done or spend time altering your workout.

This common scenario could he’s there add up to 45 minutes plus, not including any of your actual working out! These 45 minutes of wasted time could give you an awesome Total Gym workout without leaving your comfy house, and your private shower is only 90 seconds away!  

Yes, on your Total Gym, you can work out your entire body on one machine. Today I’m going to show you how to be even more Time-Efficient by maximizing each body position.
