Exercise at home for the holidays

SPECIAL TO GIFT GUIDE EDITORS
San Diego—Imagine reaping the benefits of total body fitness—looking better, feeling stronger and enjoying better overall health. Can you get all this with one piece of equipment, right in your own home? Total Gym makes it possible.
Critics have heralded the benefits of Total Gym for years. There are endorsements by Dr. Marc Rabinoff of Metropolitan State College of Denver, who rated Total Gym one of the best home gyms, deemed it the most user-friendly, and said, “It’s a good home product for use by the general public.”
And then there’s the American Council on Exercise (ACE), the nonprofit watchdog organization that regularly conducts university-based studies on the effectiveness of fitness products, that says “(Total Gym) has largely relied on the product’s merits to make the sale—not outrageous claims.”
With the numbers of overweight, out-of-shape Americans skyrocketing, Total Gym is one of the most useful and healthy gifts to give. It’s safe and effective, easy to use, and can combine three key components of exercise: aerobic, strength, and flexibility. And, in its one piece construction, the Total Gym Model 11000, patterned after models found in thousands of physical therapy facilities, fits into small spaces at home. The machine is delivered with a Beginner’s Exercise Video, so even the most novice exercisers can learn how to easily accomplish their toning and/or weight loss goals.
According to Total Gym founder Tom Campanaro, “Total Gym offers users ‘functional exercise’,” a technique that recreates the movements we perform every day. Through gravity training (lifting one’s own body weight), the machine engages all muscle groups, allowing over one hundred functional exercises on six levels of resistance, upper and lower body exercises; and comprehensive aerobics.
Recently, the introduction of Pilates accessories allows users to easily—and affordably—reformat the Total Gym for Pilates mat and reformer exercises. The machine combines the functional benefits of gravity and consistent calibrated resistance with the core strength and flexibility benefits of Pilates. More than 150 Pilates exercises can be performed on Total Gym Reformat™.
The company’s products have gone far beyond the medical and consumer markets as well: the Total Gym system has been used by the USA Olympic Gold Medalist Men’s Volleyball team and USA Track and Field Gold Medalist Jackie Joyner-Kersee for rehabilitation and strength training following a leg injury.
After more than a quarter century at the forefront of innovation in fitness training, physical therapy and rehabilitation, efi Sports Medicine, maker of Total Gym, has become the leading manufacturer of functional rehabilitation and conditioning equipment. efi's groundbreaking integration of the proven benefits of gravity and function into a single exercise apparatus allows shorter, more efficient workouts that produce superior results. Today, efi provides a wide array of functional equipment to more than 14,000 clinics, schools, hospitals, athletic training centers and health clubs. The Total Gym 11000 is available through the phone and internet only for $995.00 plus shipping.
