It's easy with Total Gym 1000, the strength-training system that uses your own body weight for smooth, fluid resistance. Lat pulls, squats, crunches, arm pulls, and leg curls are just a few of the more than 60 exercises you can perform. And changeovers are fast and effortless. Sharper Image has the Total Gym for hundreds of dollars less than if you ordered from the TV Infomercial. Saves a ton of time, and I can take a advantage of even 5 or 10 minutes that I have during the day.
Free weights are the only way to attain good form, build true muscle and burn fat.
The total gym would be good for somebody who doesnt realy want to get in shape. It is a fine piece of equipment. But don't think that these are comparables. This is a case of apples vs. oranges. Both fruit but entirely different.
