I was thinking about getting a Total Gym 1100. I'm thinking about using it in my dorm room, 'cause it would be much easier than going to the school gym. Is this product worth it? How much does it weigh out of the box?

Is using a Total Gym going to cause any growth problems for my 13 year old?
My brother gave me a Total Gym for Christmas. My 13 year old son wants to use it also. Is it ok for him. Will it cause any problems with his growth. He has grown 3 inches since September.
Don't question Chuck Norris.

does any body know where i can find a free total gym workout manual and total gym pilates manual off the internet or any where. Got a free total gym and i want to start working out. Oh this is the total gym with chuck norris.
i would try www.freetrainers.com
however, i would strongly recommend trying your local bookstore as well
you can get exactly what you want and overall knowledge
(b/c if you put a total-gym flat on its lowest setting, it basically becomes a pilates machine)

When using the TOTAL GYM MACHINE do you need any other dumbells to get muscles?
Is to the total gym enough for getting muscles?
With the total gym, you are using your own body weight for resistance. It is possible to build muscles just by using that. It's only when you have exercised enough that you have surpassed that weight that you would need to add on extra. If you're just starting out, I wouldn't suggest adding additional weights yet.

What exercises can I do on a "Total Gym 1000" for my "pecs", "biceps", and "abs"?
I received a "Total Gym 1000" as a hand me down. I have no instructions. It seems to work because my muscles ache, but I want a routine. Specific exercises for specific muscles.
Thanks in advance. PS I'm fat and 42.
There are a few different exercises you can try for each of those areas, provided you have the 'wing' attachment.
For the Abs: set the slide board at the angle most comfortable for you and attach the 'wing' accessory to the top of the machine near the cable pulley which should be unclipped from the slide board.The 'wing' should fall away from you, not toward you. Lay on your back with your head toward the bottom of the machine, lock your feet into the 'wing' and lay with your legs fully extended. now pull upwards with a 'crunch' motion. You'll feel this start to burn in your upper/ middle abdominal area and a little in the thighs.
Alternatively; set the 'wing' at the bottom of the machine so it falls towards you. kneel on the slide board and grip the handle of the 'wing', now push with your knees backwards and up on the slide board whilst holding a 'press up' position. This should work your lower abdominal.
Pecs: With the 'wing' attached to the top of the machine and falling towards you lay on the slide board, grip the handles of the 'wing' palms up and pull upwards as if doing a chin up on a bar. This will also work your biceps. Also try this exercise with your hands gripping in a palm down position, this will put some work into you deltoids and traps as well as your biceps.
Another one for the Pecs: With the 'wing' removed attach the cable pulley to the slide board. Sit on the board facing away from the top of the machine, grip the toggles of the cable in each hand, hold and place your feet up onto the board so all of your weight is available for resistance. Set your arms so that your elbows are pointing in toward your hips and your arms are perpendicular to your torso like a 't'. Bring your arms forward so that your wrists and fore arms come together in a 'Butterfly' motion. That one you'll feel in your pectoral and bicep areas.
I hope this helps. My total gym is the only thing to have kept me in shape over the last few years. It hurts but it hurts good!!
Good luck!
