I just performed those ab exercises, as many as tolerable for my almost 67 yr old body, on my gym "Fit" last night. My abs are freaking sore as he// today, WOW is he right! I'll be working that into my routine every workout now, THANK YOU JOHN.
WOW! I always thought my abs were strong but this was a struggle! Thank you I'll keep working at it... Any tips on avoiding lower back pain with these?
I just completed this one. Really tough, really good. Definitely a total body workout. I didn’t use any straps…..this time. I just had to pause it several times to change the attachments, especially because I used the pull up bars. You were too quick for me when transitioning.
i seem to be having problems keeping my lower back flat on board... i end up pulling the lower back muscles and unable to try again for days. what am i doing wrong, i am new to all this...
This can happen when your core muscles are weaker than the back muscles. The back muscles take over, and end up tightening (as you mentioned). I would recommend training planks and pikes first before getting into these exercises. We have videos on our channel for both pikes and planks.
Is there a way to lock the slider? I'm having a little difficulty getting on and off because it's hard for me to keep the slider stationary. any ideas would be appreciated
I have a total gym and know how to do all of those exercises. I am having trouble coordinating them along with rest time and which exercises to do each day. Can you help?
Here's an easy format to follow: Day 1: Chest and Back Day 2: Shoulders, Biceps, and Triceps Day 3: Legs and Abs Day 4: Rest Complete 3 sets of each exercise. (8-12 Repetitions) Rest 30-45 seconds between each exercise. Rinse and repeat...hope this helps.
for the rest, he said it in the video, do all the exercises in order with no rest, rest 30 seconds and go through the exercises a second time. if you really want to burn them out, rest 30 seconds and do it a third time. rest another 30 seconds and do the last exercise for a burn out. do this routine 2-3 times a week.
Everyone needs to remember that you can do all the ab crunches you want and have very strong abs but you're not going to see them if you are fat. What you eat is the most important thing.
I can never get my abs to get/feel soar. Also, I can get my elbows to my knees. I'm going to keep at it. Would like to at least have a flat stomach in 2 months. Then maybe shred the 6 pack in by Christmas.
Increase your incline to increase difficulty. Also, make sure you're focusing on using the abdominal muscles, not the back, arms or pulling your legs too high. To achieve your "flat stomach" goal, make sure you're supplementing your workouts with a proper diet. Abs are made in the kitchen!
Your Probaly bending your back or it’s not used to it. It may also be your back straightening out because that’s what I felt when i started workoutingnout
that's exactly what I'm having trouble with. When to rest what exercises to do on what day. I'm very capable of doing the exercises adjust input a workout plan together. I need help from someone who knows their stuff
Hey Big Brax, sorry for the delay in responding, and hope you had a happy Halloween weekend :) For creating a workout regimen on your Total Gym, a great step is to purchase some of our home workout DVDs. If you're looking for something more customized, might I suggest going to somewhere like www.bodybuilding.com/fun/find-a-plan.html and selecting a plan that sounds right for you and your current goals. Once you've selected a plan, translate the plan's exercises into what relative Total Gym exercises (as it sounds like you have a good grasp on TG exercises). It might take a little time, but will be worth it for the structured workout you're looking for.
Abs are made in the kitchen. Why do personal trainers never put that in the equation when endorsing a product like this.. Not trying to knock the guy. Love the total gym. Just people got to understand you can do this for 2 hrs a day and all you will do is build muscle underneath the fat. Being a deficit and proper training regimen will get you the six pack you wanted. For the record Im a personal trainer to. I understand youre endorsing a product but dont let out the biggest part when it comes to this stuff.
thanks man after a week I can feel the difference I love my total gym

I'm having trouble understanding your problem. Are you not sure how to rest between exercises?
Here's an easy format to follow:
Day 1: Chest and Back
Day 2: Shoulders, Biceps, and Triceps
Day 3: Legs and Abs
Day 4: Rest
Complete 3 sets of each exercise. (8-12 Repetitions)
Rest 30-45 seconds between each exercise.
Rinse and repeat...hope this helps.

Reps and sets😎
Someone just gave me one for free. I cannot believe you can do all this. So excited
I know this comment is old but yeah me too, loving it so far
Are your results only from total gym??
Can you do this with any total gym
I have one different version, and I can do it. So, I think is possible.
How many days a week should this be done?
my god ... you're beautiful. excellent videos, too!
how many times a day do i do this?

Awesome bro! Well done! :)
I assume the second exercise here is primarily for lower abs?

How many reps
all u need is once itll kill ur abs the next day
Jist picked up a TG ata a garage sale in new condition for 70 bucks. Did my first and two days later im sore!!
Great deal Albert! Exciting to see results this quickly isn't it?
TotalGymDirect day 3. Whats great is it doesn’t affect my bad back. Day one my core burned! Great machine!!
Keep it up Albert!
My back hurts like hell when doing this. What am I doing wrong?
Your Probaly bending your back or it’s not used to it. It may also be your back straightening out because that’s what I felt when i started workoutingnout
You're exercising. Life's too short to exercise.
Old comment, I know. But it may have been because your body isn't used to that kind of intense workout.
Everybody has abs. It's your diet more than anything that will reveal them. Simple exercise and stretching along with the correct diet.
so cookies and ice cream is probably not the best then?
pizza and wings it is
@@datboicuz yes ice cream over abs everyday
Yeah, I get mixed up with the six pack?
Agreed best I have exercise are “Push A-Waze” = Push-Away from the dinner table🤣😎
How often are these exercises supposed to be done? Every day? Every other?
that's exactly what I'm having trouble with. When to rest what exercises to do on what day. I'm very capable of doing the exercises adjust input a workout plan together. I need help from someone who knows their stuff

On your off strength training days, walk, walk, walk. Walking is easy on the body, find hills for cardio.
Do you need to warm up before doing these?
Just turn up the thermostat.
How long does it take
Tom Dwyer wow 3 years and no response that's sad.
I'm not trying to get a six pack I'm trying to lose my beer belly
I don't know Randy Cockrell
I never refuse a six pack. In fact I'm into 30 packs.
Ima child that wants to get rid of my fat I hope this works ;)
Beste Sixpack
Man you probably never had belly fat lol! I need somebody who had belly fat with those results
