I've mentioned this "gravity trainer" that I've been working out on pretty much every session, but probably most people don't know what it is. So I got Troy to record me last time so you can see how I train on it.
This is essentially the pro version of the Total Gym that (apparently) Chuck Norris advertises on late-night TV. I remember when I was a teenager seeing commercials for other machines claiming to give you a full body workout and wanting to have a body like the guys in the commercials. But I was too skeptical to believe that they worked, especially since I'm sure those guys get their bodies from working out elsewhere. But anyways, I haven't seen the Chuck Norris commercials myself, and don't know how the cheaper machines compare to this one, but this one definitely kicks my ass. Although if I got one for home use I'd definitely want to have somebody spot me or at least be in the same room, because it's easy to lose one's balance, especially when doing a new exercise or when extremely fatigued (which one tends to be after using it successfully). I've had Troy save me from falling off this thing on more than one occasion. But I suppose what's the worse that could happen? It's not like I'd be falling from a great height or have some heavy weight dropped on me like if I was using free weights. So maybe it's not so bad working out on your own.

what would Chuck Norris do on your place? I'm impressed!
Wow, it must be a killer! On the other hand I dont understand well how is it a total body workout? I see you work out your arms and abs... can you work out your legs too?
Kinga, I'll post a blog entry to answer your question :)
There is Over 300 exercises that we can do with Tym. many of them incorporate core training as well.
EVERY piece of furniture in chuck norris' home is a total gym. So chuck would have his karate chicken next.
I'll choose being the victim of a science demonstration over this any day ;)
