Hi Total Gym Team,
I would like you all to benefit from my recent experience working to regain my quality of life. On June 15th of this year, at age 49, I had a full, left hip replacement.
A recent article on WebMD revealed that the number of hip replacements performed in the United States has increased substantially, and the procedure has become more common in younger people, new government statistics show. The article went on to report that the number of these procedures grew 205% from 2000 to 2010 for people between ages 45 to 54.
Regardless of your age or current fitness level, please read on to see how you could prevent this procedure. In addition, I will share how my Total Gym helped me prepare for the surgery, and thrive through my post-surgery full recovery.
Hey Total Gym Team,
With the golf season in full swing and Father’s Day around the corner, the Total Gym Core Grip Workout System is the perfect gift for the man in your life. This accessory works seamlessly with your Total Gym and is guaranteed to improve your golf game.
The Core Grip Workout System attaches to your Total Gym cables, which allows you to emulate natural golf movements while maintaining a neutral grip that all great golfers aspire to.
My dad got me into golf when I was two years old and I have been in love with the game ever since. When I began my fitness training career, I tried everything I could think of to help my golf clients; it wasn’t until I used the Total Gym eleven years ago that I realized its potential in this area. The best benefit of the Total Gym is functional training. The Golf Core Grip takes the best benefit of the Total Gym, functional training, to a new level.
Check out the video to learn some exercises that strengthen AND improve your core flexibility.
