Maximize the 14 Different Body Positions on Your Total Gym!

 #4 in the Series – Lying Inverted, Prone

Hello Total Gym Team! It’s Master Trainer JayDee here to show you how to make your workouts more Time-Efficient. The benefit for you is spending less time working out and more time enjoying all that added energy exercise gives you, doing what you love.

This is Part 4 of a 7-Part series and will cover the position with your body face down and your head towards the base stand.  (Scroll to the bottom to see all 14 body positions)

As you will see in the video, this is one of the positions that takes advantage of the awesome accessory: The Total Gym Tri-Grip Shaper Bars. Get yours here: https://totalgymdirect.com/shop/total-gym-tri-grip-shaper-bars/. I will also feature this accessory in the next Body Position blog: Upright Prone – so stay tuned!

We all love our Total Gym because it is so versatile. You can easily turn up that versatility by taking advantage of the wonderful accessories available. The Total Gym Tri-Grip Shaper Bars make your shoulder workouts so much more effective because you have three different grip options. All three are ergonomically designed to be as kind as possible to your wrist, elbow, and shoulder joints.

Also, many of us work out peeps have tight shoulders. I bet you know someone in your circle who has rotator cuff issues! This is so common because your shoulder joint is the most mobile joint in your body. This makes all the muscles involved (17+) difficult to stretch and keep flexible. The Total Gym Tri-Grip Shaper Bars allow you to accommodate many of these shoulder idiosyncrasies and pump up those shoulders pain-free.

Let’s get those shoulders sculpted for Summer tank tops and sleeveless dresses!

Here are the exercises you’ll learn in today’s video:

Shoulder Press Palooza! Including one exercise you can only do on your Total Gym: Plyo-Metric Shoulder Presses. Also featured are some games with Single-Arm Shoulder Presses. We all have a dominant side, so it’s important to counter this muscle imbalance with Unilateral Exercises.

You’ll also learn some great Core Exercises that simultaneously train your Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps. You gotta love the multitasking versatility when working out on your Total Gym!

OK, Team, go check out the video. Stay healthy and keep the questions and comments coming. I love this stuff and I’m here to help!
