of my own home. you just can't beat that kind of convenience. for example, take two friends, shari and tina. but while tina has to get in her car and drive across town to a gym, all shari has to do is walk across the living room to get to her own gym-- the total gym. not only does it give you a complete workout faster than if you drove to the gym, but the convenience of having it in your home means that you'll really use it. and since working out on a total gym is so easy, shari can finish her workout in just about the time it takes tina to get to the gym! how often have you decided against going to the gym because you didn't have the time or the energy to drive all the way there, work out and then drive all the way back home? but the total gym is always ready when you are.

3:36 am
seconds, you switch from the workout and then you get your triceps in. come here with it... then you switch... just like that, and you can get your biceps in.

3:38 am
it out from under the bed, set it right up here and then start working out. >> this is so convenient to be able to work out in our bedroom before we go downstairs and start our day. if we're limited on time-- which everybody can relate to that-- we'll just hop on our total gym in our bedroom, get a quick workout in, whatever area that you're wanting to work on that's the most important to you. give yourself five minutes. >> it's a great way to wake up in the morning and put in maybe five, 10, 15 minutes, depending on the time you have. if you have five minutes, five minutes. you're huffing, babe. [laugh >> i know, i'm getting a cardio workout too. >> that's what's great about it, too. you see that cardio workout you get as well? you know, you're also, you're developing strength, but at the same time, you're getting a cardio workout as well, so, and that's important. that's how you lose weight. >> o.k., your turn. >> but this is one of my favorites, this is the bicep workout. then you can do a pull-up this way here, work the shoulders... right in here... and come back
3:39 am
in here, work the chest. now, as i'm working the chest, i'm working everything else too. i'm working my arms, my stomach because i have to keep my back straight... and it's working the stomach at the same time. another one i like too that a lot of people don't do... or don't know about... is this one right here. >> that'll take off some love handles. >> [laughsthat's for sure. >> if you only have five minutes to get a workout in, this is a perfect way to start your day. you won't be sorry that you did and it will put a smile on your face. >> you got it. >> when i'm looking through these pictures, i just can't believe that's me three years ago. now, with the total gym, i've lost 175 pounds. when i weighed 338 pounds, it was hard for me to do anything. i couldn't run, i couldn't even tie my shoes. my kids were always after me, wanting me to go out and play with 'em and i couldn't really do it.
3:40 am
i love the total gym because i've lost so much weight on it, it's just easier to spend time with my kids. we can play and i'm not all out of breath, and we have a good time now, don't we, baby? >> male announcer: now for the first time, you can replace an entire gym full of equipment with the one piece of equipment that does it all. your total gym xls comes fully assembled. just open it up and you're ready to begin. >> female announcer: and this instructional dvd gives you complete programs for beginning, intermediate and advanced workouts. and right now, you'll also receive john carleo's dvd with his amazing six-to-eight-minute- a-day total gym workout. it will help you to get into the best shape of your life faster and easier than you ever imagined possible. >> male announcer: with total gym, you can work your major muscle groups simultaneously to get a total body workout in a fraction of the time you could with circuit training or free weights. >> female announcer: anyone can use the total gym, regardless of age or fitness level, because your own body weight provides the resistance. you simply raise the incline to increase resistance and lower it
3:41 am
to reduce resistance. more reps at the lower incline slenderizes, firms and tones for that longer, leaner look. >> male announcer: while fewer reps at the higher inclines are ideal for bodybuilding. >> female announcer: and because the total gym stretches you as you work out, workouts are fun and energizing, instead of boring and exhausting, and look at this! when you're finished with your workout, just fold it up and slide it under a bed, up against a wall or into a closet. >> male announcer: and when you call, don't forget to ask about the all-new, revolutionary ab crunch accessory. >> female announcer: total gym xls is built to last and because you're buying it direct from the manufacturer, you're buying it at the lowest price, and it comes with a lifetime warranty. >> male announcer: and now, you can try the total gym absolutely risk-free. if you're not delighted, you can return it for a full refund. >> why wait? there's never been a better time to get into the best shape of your life with total gym. >> announcer: call the number on your screen.

3:42 am
call the number on your screen. [♪.. >> i didn't realize that i had gained so much weight until i saw the pictures and got on the scale-- i knew it was time to do something. well, i've been using the total gym for about six months. using it every other day for about 15, 20 minutes, i was able to lose 25 pounds. today, i'm 158 pounds. i've kept that 25 pounds off by using the total gym. i'm 44 years old and i just feel awesome, i feel really great. >> gena and i love meeting people who have great testimonies, especially about the total gym. >> you're right, honey, and we're so excited today. we have rebecca and brian with us to tell us an inspirational story. rebecca, it's nice to see you. >> good to see you. >> rebecca's lost 80 pounds in the last two years. >> we had been faithfully paying our monthly gym membership but never going... decided that the money that we'd been spending every month on the dues for the gym, that we could buy a total gym. >> gena: absolutely. >> and, um, maybe we'd actually
3:43 am
use it. [all laugh the first month, i think i lost about 10 pounds and once you start working out and you're losing weight and seeing those results and you just feel so great. you have so much more energy that you can't wait to get out there the next day and do it again. >> so brian, how much weight did you lose? >> i've lost 45 pounds, and i do the six-to-eight-minute-a-day workout. >> there are so many different exercises that you can do, that you don't ever get bored. >> i like this one. you can really feel that. >> chuck: and then if you want to work bicep, which i'll do, now i'll go right into the bicep. >> look at her arms already. i mean, this is so encouraging. >> chuck: yep. ...the tricep. >> it's easy and it's fun. and you see results. >> and then it's so easy just to flip your wrists around and do a press. >> again, see, that's working the chest and then your stomach too, 'cause you're having to tighten up your stomach... >> and it's so fun. i never get tired of it. >> that's what's great about it. >> so how long do you take to do
3:44 am
your workout in the morning? >> you know, i usually go about 10 to 15 minutes a day. once you get the hang of it, it's really easy to move between different exercises and you can really get a great workout in just a few minutes. >> i wanna encourage all the viewers to know you can do this. she can do it, i can do it, brian can do it, my husband can do it and you can do it. this is fabulous. >> olivia newton-john landed the lead role in the movie grease and she went on to win just about every kind of music award you can think of, but when it comes to looking and feeling younger, her secret weapon is the same as mine: the total gym. >> i had kind of a goal in my mind that i wanted to trim off a few pounds, trim off a few inches. total gym really is the perfect name for the machine, because i can do everything: i can do my upper body, i can do lower body, i can do pilates moves, i can do yoga moves. i think that if you want to make a change in your life, whether it's to lose weight, whether it's to get strong, whether it's to just lean out, whatever you want to do, the total gym can

satisfy all those things. i look at myself now and i go, "wow, you really did it!" 'cause people have said to me, "you're looking good." i said, "yeah, i've been working out on the total gym." "really? it really works?" i say, "yeah, it really does. it really works." >> one of the great things about the total gym is that it's great for any age or any level of fitness. here's ken oveson, who's in his 50s, working out on his total gym. >> i saw some pictures of how big i'd actually gotten. this picture right here, i was building a home and when i saw that picture, i thought, "if i keep gaining weight at the rate i'm going, i'm not gonna live in this house very long at all." decided i had to do something about my weight. people started noticing results, people were asking me what i was doing to stay in shape or to get into shape, noticed that i had lost weight, and i told them it was the total gym. well, i was 278 at my highest, and right now i'm right around 230 now, so... 48 pounds. when i look at pictures like these and i see, you know, the difference in my size and the
3:46 am
condition that i'm in, it... it's just amazing. really, i feel great. very glad i ordered the total gym. >> we have another guest here at the ranch who has an incredible story. shawn, could you share it with us and the viewers? >> well, i've always been a heavy... heavy guy and one night, me and my wife were laying in bed... actually, i was sitting and eating a bag of potato chips, and your guys's infomercial came on and i was looking at the infomercial and i looked down at my bag of chips and i knew i had to do something. >> tell 'em how many pounds you lost. >> 175 pounds. >> gena: oh, my goodness! >> chuck and gena: 175 pounds! >> gena: good job! >> shawn: i started up for four days a week, about a half an hour at a time. and i did things like the reverse curl, you know, to tighten up my arm, and then i'd do the chest press... like that... and then i'd do the chest fly. >> so how quickly did you start seeing the weight coming off? >> i lost, like, 12 pounds the
3:47 am
first month, and then, then i'd lose about three pounds a week, and the more weight i lost, the more energized i felt and i was able to do more, i was able to bump it up a little higher, the more weight that i lost. >> do you have more energy? >> oh, i can do all kinds of things now. before, when i was 338 pounds, my children would always ask me to go outside and play with them and i couldn't do it. >> no time like today to get started. is that what you would tell...? >> that's what i would tell everybody, just do what i did. pick up your phone, make the phone call, get on the right track. >> i did a movie with chuck norris and of course, chuck norris uses the total gym and his wife, gena, is so fit, and i said, "how did you get that fit?" and she looked at me and she said, "total gym!" i went "wow", and then all of a sudden, i had the opportunity to get one. when i started using the total gym, i was amazed that it could be fun and not torturous! i could get the results i wanted but there are so many different types of exercises that one can do on the total gym. i think the biggest surprise for me and the biggest reward for me using the total gym is that i can get great results with not
3:48 am
a lot of time, because when i'm on a set and i'm working, and i'm working 16, 18 hours a day, it's hard to find the time. never did i know that i could work on the total gym for 15 minutes a day and see results. >> when i looked at these pictures, yeah, they were bad. i was about 196 pounds, and i lost 52 pounds. all right... i have a lot of favorite exercises. this one... to start out, i just try to warm up my arms. i love this one for the back of my arms. oh, this is my personal trainer. this total gym is my personal trainer and i use it faithfully. it's a total... gym-- i guess that was a good name for it. >> male announcer: now for the first time, you can replace an entire gym full of equipment with the one piece of equipment that does it all. your total gym xls comes fully assembled. just open it up and you're ready to begin. >> female announcer: and this instructional dvd gives you complete programs for beginning, intermediate and advanced workouts. and right now, you'll also

3:51 am
to lose the 30 pounds. i was a size 12 and i went down to a size 5/6. thank you, total gym. >> let me share with you some of the success stories that i read on total gym's facebook page. dina from new jersey posts, "i am so addicted to my total gym! i started in april and i have lost not one, not two, not three, but four full dress sizes. i only work out about 20-30 minutes a day five days a week. thank you so much, total gym, for giving me the life i knew i always deserved." douglas from kansas writes, "the total gym is one of the greatest investments you will ever make." i agree. cheri is 55 years old and writes, "i have the xls and gone from a dress size 8-10 to a 2-4." whoa!

these are just a few of the stories that are being posted daily by the growing total gym community-- all ages, all fitness levels, one machine: the total gym. >> actor steve guttenberg is a total gym user. here's what he had to say. >> total gym works your arms, your back, your stomach, anything you have, any part of your body, and it works it really well. every movement, whether it's the flys, the overhead, the squats, they're all efficient, so what you're doing is combining your time and your effort into one really productive workout. if i had to go to a gym and use all the different machines to get what i get out of total gym, i'd probably be on 15 to 20 machines, and waiting for somebody to get off it. with free weights or universals, i've never found the efficiency that total gym has. i would say if people are skeptical about using the total gym for a tremendous workout and you're used to going to a gym, pumping really heavy weights, come try it. it will make you really happy, give you a great workout, it's
3:53 am
fun, it's just a perfect piece of equipment and you get a great workout out of it, i guarantee it. >> you know, people are always coming up and asking me about the total gym, especially bodybuilders, and they'll say, "well, the exercises i do on my machines work better than the total gym..." and then i always say, "have you ever used the total gym? because if there was a machine better than the total gym, i'd be using it." and that's when my competitive spirit kicks in. [♪.. what's great about the total gym is i can rotate it... here... then i'll practice my punches. for all you martial artists out there, this is a great exercise. ...working on the lats, the bis, the tris... just about every muscle in your body, including my abs. i can fluctuate it up... or i can fluctuate it down. at the same time, i'm
3:54 am
maintaining my core, which is working on my abs. but what i can do also is rotate it one at a time... and then i can turn 'em over and go back this way... straight up and isolate... the tricep... but now i can fluctuate it at a 45-degree angle... then if i want to work on another section of the tricep, i go at a 90-degree angle. ...let me tell you, if there was a better piece of equipment out there, i'd be using it... but there isn't. total gym is the best. >> rebecca kiritsy wanted to lose weight, but the gym wasn't working. listen to the amazing results she got from the total gym. >> look at these pictures. i am embarrassed. i can't believe that was even me-- i mean, you have to remember, these are the pictures that i didn't delete off the camera right away. these are the ones that weren't
3:55 am
"that bad." and so when i look at them, i am just shocked. i can't believe that that's what i looked like. within the first month, i could really start to see results. i dropped a dress size in just the first month and i think i lost 10 pounds that very first month that we were trying it. i could feel my body and see my body being more toned and tightened. i could really feel results just within a few days. now i've lost 80 pounds and i've kept it off for about a year and a half. i'm so thankful that i had my total gym, that i stuck with it and that i don't look like this anymore. >> male announcer: now for the first time, you can replace an entire gym full of equipment with the one piece of equipment that does it all. your total gym xls comes fully assembled. just open it up and you're ready to begin. >> female announcer: and this instructional dvd gives you complete programs for beginning, intermediate and advanced workouts. and right now, you'll also receive john carleo's dvd with his amazing six-to-eight-minute- a-day total gym workout. it will help you to get into the
