>> male announcer: the following program is a commercial presentation of total gym fitness. >> hi, i'm chuck norris. >> and i'm christie brinkley. >> i'd like to ask you a question: do you have a dream? >> maybe it's to look and feel better or just lose a dress size. >> or drop 10 pounds or maybe even 50. >> or maybe you wish you could be as active as you were 10 years ago. >> chuck: or just keep up with your kids. >> in the next 30 minutes you're going to hear from actual total gym customers. they're people just like you, people that had a dream to look and feel better about themselves. >> so stay tuned to hear how you can live your dream. >> male announcer: chuck norris, one of the toughest action stars in the world, has been using the total gym for over 35 years. christie brinkley, one of the most famous models in the world has been using the total gym for over 16 years. now it's your turn to join chuck, christie and hundreds of

thousands of other total gym users who have gained the body they've always wanted thanks to the total gym. now you can try a total gym at home for 30 days for only $14.95 risk-free. >> i lost a hundred pounds. like i... lost almost a whole person, and that is an amazing feeling. >> well, you know, i'm 52 years old, i feel as fit as i have since i was in my 20s. >> within the first month, i could really start to see results. i dropped a dress size in just the first month. >> at 338 pounds, it was hard for me to do anything. i couldn't... run... i couldn't even tie my shoes. >> i got my new body all because of the total gym. just 10 minutes a day, three or four times a week, and you can have a new body too. and i love it. >> a recent clinical study from a major university examined if the total gym really did provide a true total body workout. 100% of the participants in the study reported losing weight and inches. they also saw an increase in

aerobic capacity, muscular strength and muscular endurance. so if you're looking for a total body solution, the answer is the total gym. >> i've been training on the total gym now for over 35 years. then i got my wife to start training on it 15 years ago... and now three years ago i got dakota working out on the total gym, and i started training him mainly for him to be able to excel in his other athletic endeavors. let's start to show some of the exercises that you do that help you in your gymnastics and help you in your martial arts. dakota's been doing this now for a little over three years, and it has really, as you can tell, has developed him incredibly. not getting the big muscles, you know, like a bodybuilder, but that lean and mean body-build that it really creates incredible strength. too many kids today are sitting on the couch and watching television and not getting the exercise that they need, so

instead of a kid sitting on the couch, he can get up, walk over to the total gym and get in a tremendous workout. and you parents, too, if you're spending too much time on the couch yourself, you know, you can get on the total gym and exercise with your kids. that's what's really great with dakota and i. it gives us something to do together, and i really enjoy working out with you. how about you, dakota? >> yeah. >> [laughs] you should try it out. arm wrestle this kid. i've tried it a couple times. [laughs] >> gena nelson dreamed about running a marathon. well, she has lost 55 pounds using the total gym, and just started training for her first race. >> oh, wow, this is... this picture is from week prior to using the total gym. when i first started using the total gym, my coworkers, they noticed a difference and they noticed that i was actually losing the weight and i was getting smaller and they wanted to know what my secret was, and i told 'em i didn't have a secret, that i was using the

total gym. prior to starting the total gym, my first goal was i wanted to complete a marathon. another goal of mine was to be able to fit into my size 5 jeans which i've been able to. if i can do it, anyone can do it. my name is gena nelson and i've lost 55 pounds using the total gym. >> 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 fun, it's just a perfect piece of equipment and you get a great workout out of it, i guarantee it. [♪...] >> you can go from upper body, raid it-- right into your thighs. you can go right here, biceps. and then you can just move and glide from one position to the next. right now i'm really feeling it, you know, rounding out this, you know, trouble zone. >> man: uh-huh. >> i mean, you know, the fluidity with which you can move from exercise to exercise, so when one set of muscles fatigue, you just switch right to the next one. check it out. gonna tighten your belly and you're gonna use your core for everything that you do. not only are you working your shoulders right now but you're working your stomach. and this is one of the secrets of total gym and why it is that

you can get a workout in such a short time. [♪...] >> my 25th high school reunion coming up and i said, "i'm not going like this. i'm getting the total gym." the total gym was so easy to work, it was literally no putting together, just up, open, and you can use it right away. the total gym helped me lose about 28 pounds. i went from a size 8 that i was about to bust out of into a size 2, so i was very ecstatic. i went to my high school reunion looking fabulous. >> in my "before" picture i was about 182 pounds. i'm 42 with a beer gut. now i'm down to 155 pounds just by using the total gym. i was 157 pounds when i got out of the marine corps, so i haven't felt this good for over 27 years. >> my legs, my thighs, my rear end and everything was just huge. using the total gym, i lost 50 pounds.

went from a size 13 to a size 6 in about 16 weeks. and i feel wonderful, i feel more energetic. >> and get up, you can do it. if i can do it, you can do it. >> it has changed my life where i want to tell everybody out there that i run into. i want to tell people, "this is what i've done." in just this short time. >> get the total gym, start out 10 minutes a day. that's all it takes. >> i would agree the total gym's given me an incredible lower body. [laughs] >> karena and katrina are known to the millions who follow them for exercise and fitness tips as the tone it up girls. let's see how they rate the total gym after giving it a try. >> hi, i'm karena. >> and i'm katrina, and we're from tone it up. >> we were so excited when total gym came to us and asked us to review their product. we've had it for a while now... >> and we've fallen in love with it. [♪...] if you really want to isolate the lower abs and the whole waistline and the upper abs,

this is the move. >> this is a great move for your chest. this next move is a great move to really target all the muscles in your upper body, your triceps, your lats. it's called the surfer. i really like this move for your waistline, your lower abs. quick, it's easy. gets the job done. this next move is one of our favorite exercises to work the booty. >> i love this move for lifting and toning the booty, because that's what we all want, right? [laughs] >> really like this to work the hamstrings, the back of both legs... and at the same time i'm working my abs. >> so the more muscles that you work at the same time, the more calories you burn, the higher your metabolism is, and the faster you tone up. i can go from working my shoulders to my biceps and then to my back, the back of my shoulders. >> and the cool thing about this is you can adjust the height of the bench, so whatever your fitness level, you can definitely work out on here. >> now our philosophy at tone it up is that you're not going to do something unless you enjoy it and you have some fun,

so this is perfect for that, and you'll never regret a workout, so just hop on, even if it's for five minutes, and do something for yourself. >> 11 years ago when i first started using the total gym i was 233 pounds. i was completely overweight. but the original plan of using the total gym was just to get me back in shape enough to go back to the gym, and the thing that i realized was is after starting to use the total gym, i didn't need to go back to the gym. the total gym gives me the workout that i need to be in the shape i'm in, to keep the weight loss down. i was at 233 pounds. i'm at 192 now, that's a 41-pound weight loss. and with the help of the total gym, i've been able to keep it off. >> 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. and as a special bonus, you'll also receive trainer todd durkin's three-dvd series. >> i've created three new total gym workout programs, promising to deliver maximum results at every fitness level. >> female announcer: todd will motivate you to increase your strength, stamina and energy, raise your metabolism and burn fat, whatever your fitness level. these videos will help you 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 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 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. [♪...] call the number on your screen. [♪...] >> total gym recently teamed up with one of professional sports' top trainers, todd durkin, to create three new total gym high-energy workouts. >> i'm here on the total gym, one of my favorite tools. if you're anything like any of my clients, you often time start for a great workout. if you really want to get in lots of different exercises with great results, you can get

in dozens of different exercises in as little as 20, 30 minutes to blast your metabolism, release fat and get nice and strong. and whether you're just starting out or you're a seasoned, savvy fitness enthusiast, these exercises will surely work you as hard as you want to work. now, this is challenging as much as you want it to because i can vary the intensity by just the changing the height of the total gym. regardless of your age, or if you're a female who wants to get fit, or a recreational athlete, it really doesn't matter 'cause the total gym is going to allow you to work, live and play at your absolute best. >> one of the biggest reasons people give for why they don't work out is time. 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. [♪...] >> man: when i'm looking through these pictures, i just can't believe that's me. >> i'm kind of disgusted. >> i'm embarrassed-- i can't believe that was even me. >> i didn't feel good about myself. >> very ashamed of how i let myself go. when i first started noticing a difference was my jeans didn't fit anymore. >> dropped a dress size in just the first month. >> a couple of my favorite exercises on the total gym are the chest fly... >> really like the leg pulleys. >> i was a size 12 and i went

down to a size 5/6. >> ...in my arms... and my stomach. >> biceps. >> now, with the total gym, i've lost 175 pounds. >> i lost 52 pounds. >> i was 278 at my highest and right now i'm right around 230. >> i love this one for the back of my arms. >> i lost a hundred pounds. >> doing those back-up squats... really feel it. >> lost 30 pounds using the total gym. >> the exercises are becoming more fluid-- i'm able to change from one to the other pretty easily. >> and then i can go from there straight into a bicep curl. >> now i've lost 80 pounds and i've kept it off for about a year and a half. >> gym's so nice, too; you don't have to mess with changing weights and changing barbells and switching everything out. >> i was a little over 180 pounds. my weight today is 158 pounds. >> it's a total... gym-- i guess that was a good name for it. >> this is something i definitely want to stick with the rest of my life. it's just all right there-- total gym. >> thank you, total gym. >> thank you, total gym. >> all: thank you, total gym!

>> many times i'll come into the gym just to work on my triceps. why? because guys will always walk up to you and say, "hey, how's it going?" and they want to see if you have any muscle in your arms. and so that's what motivates me to come in here and work on these triceps, so when they do grab me by the arm, it's not gonna be all mushy. [laughs] so here's the exercise that i do. i'll do this here and i'll rotate 'em-- see how i'm rotating my hands? so this works different parts of the tricep. and then soon as i work this to exhaustion where i can't do any more, then i'll come up here and work the back. why the back? because as you get older, you have a tendency for your back to slump from lack of muscle, and i want to make sure that i'll always maintain a good posture no matter what my age is. and then soon as i do these then i'll go right back to exhaustion on my triceps.

and once i can't do any more of these, then i'll go back to my back with my palms down this time. and pull back again to keep that back straight. then i'll go back to exhaustion again on the triceps. i just finished a movie called expendables 2 and this is how i stayed in shape to do this movie, and i think i was in better shape than all the other actors... [laughs] on the set. >> 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!" "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 in not 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. >> you know, i get so many people ask, "why the total gym?" well, i'd love to be able to give you just, like, a one-word answer, but the fact of the matter is there's a multitude of reasons, o.k.? i don't have to drive 30 minutes to the gym. i don't have to pay for gym membership. and once i do get into the workout, i don't have to worry about going to different machines. i don't have to worry about changing the pins, you know? i don't have to worry about guys already using the machine that i wanted to use. variety, convenience, affordability... i got news for you, man, there are a multitude of reasons why i use the total gym, and last but certainly not least, because it works. >> this is stephen sofia,

the most patient man in the world. >> [laughs] >> who allowed me to realize my broadway dream. he's my dance teacher, and i got the chance to play roxie hart in chicago thanks to stephen and my total gym. why don't you show me some of your favorite moves? >> absolutely. i can go right from the chest right into my back. i can add a rotation so i'm getting my oblique. >> you're feeling that right now in your back. >> in my back. >> in your belly... >> in my belly 'cause i have to hold myself up on the glide board-- right into biceps. i can go from biceps right into my shoulder press and then i can bring this back and i go right here and isolate from the elbow and hit the tricep. >> that's the secret of the total gym, is that you're using several muscles at the same time. how many machines can go straight from your arms into the legs. >> exactly. >> you can also stand here and do little pulses. >> mm-hmm. >> and boy, those'll really... >> you're really targeting it, burning it out. >> really target that zone. >> yeah. >> i like to turn it

into a little bit of a sit-up. >> absolutely. there's a nice, little crunch in there, but your arms are active. >> [laughs] >> i mean, this machine is... >> it's versatile. >> it's so versatile. >> it really is. >> there's so much you can do. it is truly a total body fitness machine. >> 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. 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.

[♪...] call the number on your screen. [♪...] >> hi, my name's jenny walden and i lost 30 pounds using the total gym. i was watching tv and realized that all of a sudden, here i'm a size 12, the biggest

i've ever been. it was time for a change, and total gym was the answer for me. it was encouraging, because i started to notice a difference in... the way i felt, in the way my clothes started to fit. it was easy, really, to lose the 30 pounds. i was a size 12 and i went down to a size 5/6. thank you, total gym. >> the total gym is so effective that even world-class athletes like pro football player kellen winslow use it to stay in shape. [whooshing] >> you know, they ask me a lot of questions-- "how does it work?"-- and i show 'em. and i usually show 'em by starting off with the chest, the bench press, and it really helps me with my blocking. get about three sets of 15, three sets of 10... how much time you have and it's real efficient. it just keeps me flexible. i can, um... it takes a few 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. [♪...] and just like that, within a minute, i've done three exercises. and it works, total gym works. >> 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. >> 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." >> let me show you why the total gym keeps me motivated. i want to work the tris... do these here. if i want to work the lats... right here. if i want to work the chest... here. and i'll combine them. i'll do the chest... lats... and tris. i'll mix 'em all three together if i start getting bored. if you're sitting up here then you can work the chest. you vary it. so you work all sections of the chest-- up higher... and then i'll practice my punches. see that? see the tremendous variety that you have with this total gym? it's absolutely incredible. >> 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 "that bad." and so when i look at them, i'm 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: anyone can use the total gym, regardless of age or fitness level, because your own body weight provides

pain in my elbow any more. i can move it. i can move. i can do things. and it felt so good to power walk outside. my health is better because of tommie copper. give it up for our industrial athletes. louis, you are the epitome of an industrial athlete. you own your own business. you go around inspecting homes. you gotta crawl through crawl spaces, climb up on roofs. i'm in places you don't even want to know about. i heard the story now, c'mon, 'cause we're about the same age, my friend. we're right there at the same place. 56-57. he goes over to a house one day, doing an inspection. right? doing an inspection. in a crawl space? i'm in the crawl space and i'm trying to get out of the crawl space. i should say that you're at the home of a relatively attractive young lady. yes. ok. i'm just saying that. and being a man in your 50's, you're thinking i'm in good shape. but instead, you got trapped in that crawl space and what did she say, my friend? she said to

me, well i guess you're not a firefighter any more. look at the way you're moving right now. and i was floored. floored. so, since tommie copper? my life has completely changed. i'm a completely new person. i saw on that tape the way you ran up those steps, you're able to get into crawl spaces, all those places. crawl spaces, up steps, up ladders, i'm walking roofs, i'm getting in and out of places that i've never been in before. now janet. yes. you're a little different story. who hooked you up with tommie copper? i saw the tommie copper television show. i thought i'd might as well give this a try. i had nothing else to lose. my cholesterol was way up, up over 400. i got the sleeve, i put it on, and that day, no pain. the next day, no pain. i kept it up. i'm so proud and grateful to tommie copper because these were the pants that i used to wear. there you go. that's what i'm talking about. and i dropped my cholesterol,

seriously. now you've seen how tommie copper has helped everyday people overcome debilitating aches and pains, but what about real life heroes who put their lives on the line every single day? take a look at this. being a firefighter is extremely strenuous. your body takes a beating. we get plenty of aches and pains. my knees, shoulders, elbows. it's very important to be physically fit. it's the difference between life and death. i'd try anything to get rid of the pain. hey guys. i'm in the town of baltimore, standing in front of the herman williams jr. fire house. it's named after my father! my father was the chief of the fire department her in baltimore city. the first african american chief of a major city fire department, in america. what a better place to put tommie copper to the test? we went to baltimore city's engine company 20. these brave men and women deal with pain every day. hopefully, tommie copper can help out a little bit. we're glad to be a part of it. i'm just going to give you guys a whole bunch of this stuff. everything from shirts, shorts, knees, ankles, elbows, wrists. all i want you to do in the next couple weeks is try it out. if it works or it doesn't.

body. and your body isn't really meant to twist , it is meant to go forward and back. give me one of those good scratch swings. guys, give it up for our golfers. give it up for them. phil and matt. well, tommie, the man responsible for all these incredible stories of relief from tommie copper, and that's tommie copper inventor, tom kallish himself. before he comes out, he told me he has a very special message for all of us and i don't have any idea what it is. let's take a look at it together. take a look at this. hi montel, it's 6:30 in the morning. it's been a year and a half since the accident. i'm pretty confident i can make this happen. with god's help, and a little luck, and tommie copper, i'm off to the races. go dad. i'm a little tired. but i couldn't be more grateful. the idea you could come back

from what i had gone through, is nothing shy of a miracle. please welcome tom kallish to the show. talk to me for a second. let's talk about that accident you had. skiing, coect? i did. what was that? it was about a year and 3/4 ago and there was a buried tree trunk below the water that nobody saw. and, uh, when i hit it, lost my knee, my hip and two vertebrae's in my back. and basically, we thought it was over. and i found myself wearing the products all through the four surgeries i had to have. all through the recoveries. all through the rehabs. when you have a hip replacement, you're not supposed to get out of the hospital for a minimum of 4 days. i was out in 30 hours. and, uh, that was because i was able to do the things they needed me to do and i attribute them to these products i was wearing. so you got it back. you're back to skiing out there

in the water, but look, my friend. next week, i'm ducking out of here and finally going down to chile, because you know my big thing is snowboarding. this is the 13th anniversary of my announcement of ms. and i want to show people how tommie copper gave me back my life back. gave you your hip back, c'mon go snowboarding with me next week. you're inviting me on national tv to go away? yup. chile. i guess i'm going to chile next week. that's what i'm talking about. part of the reason you're here is to actually tell people to understand the man behind the product is a man who stands behind the product, because he uses the product. that's true. but you also started this idea of, tell them, a hundred thousand? a few months ago, we started a campaign on our facebook page called 100,000 stories of relief. we were so interested in hearing real people, real stories, real problems, real solutions. we got over 10,000 replies all over the world after combing through all these, there were two that really brought us to tears. take a look at this. my name is april thomas. i'm 33

years old. i have two kids. and without tommie copper, i wouldn't be able to keep up with my kids, or even get out of the bed. my name is karen whidden. and before tommie copper, i felt hopelessly trapped in a body filled with pain. three years ago, i walked around with this loose knee cap. i tore a lot of cartilage. so i had the surgery. but it didn't heal correctly. i could not walk. it was unbearable. for 15 years, i have been dealing with pain. and i've been diagnosed with ostio arthritis. it felt like somebody had stood over the top of my hip with a shotgun and blasted down through my hip and i felt like my heel was blown off. i thought there was no way out. i did want to die. i felt worthless, you know. i wasn't doing my job as a mom. it's such a great feeling to get your life back. especially when you have two little kids that depend on you. i really was to

the point where i just wanted give up. and i got the sleeve and it did exactly what it they said. and now i've never been happier. i can take care of my kids. i can get out of bed. no pain. immediately when i got the copper gear in the mail, i put it on. and i would say, within a couple of hours, i started to feel like my pain was retreating. i slept in it that night and by the next morning, i was completely pain free. i don't know how to describe it. it was gone. montel, thank you. i've got my life back. i'm not sure what i'm going to say when i meet montel. but i do want to give him a hug. ladies and gentlemen, please welcome from seattle wa, karen whidden. and from corpus kristi tx, april thomas. welcome them to the show. give them a big round of applause. hi ladies. give me that hug. c'mon girlfriend,

give me that hug. yes. come on over here. come on next to me. there you go. ladies, come on, april, talk to me for a minute. that knee problem, how long was that bothering you before you had the surgery? it went on for 2 years. then after that surgery, you thought you were going to get some relief, but what happened? it basically, the cartilage was so bad gone, that it swelled up 3 times the size it was. did you try the braces and other things? i bought braces, gels, endless pain killers where it was like i was more sleepy than up. you could no longer keep up with your littlest one. yes. and you had to ask someone else to step in to help you. right? and who was that you had to ask? my son. and he's only 10. and he's right there. right? but you knew you needed to get some relief. yes. how did you find out about the sleeves? i was up one night and i was like lord, if you want me to still be a mama, show me something. oh know. and all of a sudden, you

turned on the tv and there was my mug. exactly. that's exactly what happened. like 10 minutes after, i was going through the channels late at night and i couldn't sleep, i was in so much pain. and there you was. let me see. i said ok. let me just order it and after i put it on, i'm running again. well there you go. that's great. and, and running to keep up with the both of them, right? yah. how do you feel, though? 'cause i'm going to cry again. it's ok. to be a mom, it's my joy. and if i couldn't take care of my kids, it's like someone ripped my job out of my life. and now i'm having fun again. i have my life back. that's what i'm talking about. absolutely. and karen, similar, right? i had an accident in 2005. car accident. an automobile accident. um, i injured both arms, um, my back, my left hip and neck. and

because of that, a lot of people don't understand that pain medication puts some weight on you. right. and the fact you can't work out, puts more weight on you. right. the fact you get stressed out because you're not working out because you're in pain puts more weight on you. the fact you put more weight on you puts more weight on you. right? it's a cycle. right. and then you discovered tommie copper. i put it on right when i got it. i kept it on throughout the night, i woke up in the morning and i was like, it is gone. completely. and see. you know. hear me folks, it just doesn't only give back motion you had, it doesn't only give you a little bounce in your step, tommie copper give you your life back. so i gotta thank you ladies. thank you so much for sharing your stories with all of us. honestly. and tom, i gotta thank you for sharing this amazing product with us all the world, my friend. it is truly an honor to help people in pain every day. an ultimate honor. we see there is a couple

welcome to through the bible with les feldick a 30-minute walk through the scriptures, teaching in- depth bible truths, that change people's lives. now, here's your host les feldick: les feldick okay, good to see everybody in this afternoon and we just like to let even our television audience understand, we've got folks here from north carolina. and ed and shirley are getting to be old hands. they're here from minnesota. and we've got some others that are visiting even from the oklahoma area. we're just glad to see everybody in. for those of you out in television, we just like to welcome you to a bible study. we're not against any particular group. we don't attack anybody. and i don't promote any one group but hopefully, we just simply open the scriptures

and let you see what the simpbook really says. i had a call last night from someone from a group far, far different from what i've been raised in but he said, les, i would like to disagree with you but it's in the book. so how can i? hopefully, that's what we plan to do is just let people see what the scripture says, not what some person thinks or says. again we like to remind folks that we are beginning in book number 49 so if you call with regard to today's program just tell the girls that you want either the tape, or whatever, of book 49. alright, we're in hebrews chapter 5 and we're going to start at verse 1. but, before we start in hebrews chapter 5 again i always kind of like to recap things that we've said several, several programs ago. and that is the book of hebrews is written primarily to jews,

of course, that's why it's called the letter to the hebrews, but these were jews who were on the fence. they had not just made that total break from judaism and so paul here, who i feel is the author of the book of hebrews is trying or is attempting to convince these jews to make that total break and put judaism behind them with all their laws and rules and regulations. and step out into this whole concept of grace by faith plus nothing. as i said in some of our opening remarks back in chapter 1 and chapter 2, consequently you will not find the plan of salvation laid out in the book of hebrews like it is, for example, in romans or i corinthians or galatians. it is simply a book that is going to show that everything that is practiced back there under

the law were just simply precursors to that where we are today. that whole concept of the gospel of grace didn't just come out of the woodwork. it was a progressive revelation and when israel rejected the messiah and god raised the apostle paul specifically then to go to the gentile world with this tremendous gospel of grace. without works, and by faith alone. you know most of christendom still rebels at that just as much as the jews did here in the time of paul writing to the hebrews. so before we even look at hebrews chapter 5, i'm going to use a verse that i use so often when i'm teaching in the old testament in our oklahoma classes and i'm going to take you back to romans 15 for just a moment before we start in hebrews. because this verse is just as appropriate for our study

of the book of hebrews as it is for our study of the old testament. now of course, when paul wrote romans, he was referring to the old testament writers but since hebrews is in that same vein, i'm going to use it for both directions. romans chapter 15 verse 4. where he writes, "for whatsoever things were written aforetime (in other words, back in the old testament economy) they were written for our learning." see not for our "doctrine" not to find "salvation" but these things were written aforetime for our learning. to give us basic understanding of the thoughts and the ways of god and how this is all progressed on up through human and biblical history to the time of where we are. alright, so these things were written for our

learning "that we though patience and comfort of the scriptures." now that word scriptures means what? the whole word of god. and now we can use it from cover to cover. and we can take comfort from them and it's from the scriptures then that we have "hope for the future." of course, we realize, especially since september 11th, we're living in tremendous times. we're living in, i think, the end-time scenario. we're just seeing the tip of the iceberg. to coin a phrase, "we ain't seen nothing yet." it's going to get worse and it's all leading up to the final seven years when god will finally pull the plug, so to speak, and his wrath will flow across the planet. but for now you and i as believers take comfort from the scriptures. we

don't have to be alarmed by what's going on. my, i had the sweetest letter the other day. i read it to one of my classes here in oklahoma where the gentlemen recapped, he says, back on december 7th, 1941, when i was a young lad of 19, i was stricken with fear for myself and for my country. but, when september 11th struck, he said, no fear because in the meantime i have come to trust that christ died for my sins. he was buried and rose from the dead and now i have nothing to fear! well, what a testimony! see? and that's where we as believers are in a unique position. the rest of the world may fear and tremble but we can just simply almost smugly say, well, we knew this was coming. we knew this was part of the picture and it just shows us that the end is getting closer and closer. alright,

so we take comfort from not only the old testament now, but from all the scriptures and so we approach the book of hebrews in that same light. it's the word of god even though it was directed to hebrew people who were having a time separating from the old program, yet it is full of things that are appropriate for us today. and i trust that even in the previous programs, let's see we started hebrews in #46 wasn't it? so we already completed two whole books just in the first few chapters. and hopefully, in all those programs, we are just simply cementing the basis of our faith as believers. we started out you remember, in chapter 1 and 2, estabstshing that jesus of nazareth was the son. and as the son, he was given intrinsic authority. and then as we're seen in

chapter 3 and chapter 4, god detests unbelief. there is nothing, there is nothing that upsets god more than unbelief. now of course, god hates sin in all it's forms but unbelief is the top of the list. and we looked at that in chapters 3 and 4. then in the last three verses in chapter 4 we, as i say so often, paul just sort of shifts gears and he slips up into the approach of the "high priesthood" of christ. and then in our last verse, as we closed our last program, we are now in a position as believers by faith in the finished work of the cross, to come boldly into the throne room in our prayer time. we don't have to come with fear and trepidation. we don't have to come before him wondering if we're good enough to be accepted. but rather we come boldly, only because

of what christ has already done. alright now as we slip into chapter 5 verse 1, we're going to start having a comparison then between the priesthood of christ and the priesthood of aaron and the old testament economy. verse 1 chapter 5, "for every high priest taken from among men (that is from the nation of israel) is ordained for men in things pertaining to god." now do you see the relationship there? the whole role of the priest was to present the needs of mankind to the holy god. alright, but now we've got another point to make in another verse or two, so we're going to put that on hold. but this human high priest, starting with aaron of course, came to god with "things that pertained to god that he may offer both

gifts and sacrifices for sins." they had to take care of the sin problem that man constantly was bugged with and the high priest brought this before god. verse 2. this high priest of israel, following in the line of aaron then, was a man "who can have compassion on the ignorant and on them that are out of the way." in other words, there was no one too low on the totem pole for the high priest to be aware of and to present him before god. alright, and so, "them that are out of the way for that he himself also (he was human. he was plagued with the same sins and temptations and passions as anybody else.)...he himself also is compassed (or is encloaked or surrounded

with) infirmity." so just because he was the high priest, that did not mean that he was above reproach. or above sin. then verse 3, "so by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer (that is a sacrifice) for sins." let's go back all the way, if you will to leviticus because we always like to compare scripture with scripture and i guess our letters are constantly reminding us of that. that they appreciate the fact that whatever we say, we back up with the scriptures. and so when you come back to leviticus chapter 16, i'm thinking it is. it better be! leviticus 16 we have the "day of atonement" when the high priest would go in behind

the veil and sprinkle the blood on the holy of holies, or the ark of the covenant. alright, chapter 16, let's just drop in at verse 14. we haven't got time to read all these verses but we'll just pick out the ones that pertain to establishing the fact that the high priest was just as much a sinner as the average jew. alright, 16 verse 14, "and he shall take of the blood of the bullock and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy seat (that is in behind the veil) and before the mercy seat he shall sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times. (now verse 15.) then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering that is for the people and bring his blood within the veil and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock and sprinkle it on the mercy seat and before it."

and here we find that he makes the atonement for himself first and then for israel. well, now maybe i should back up a little further to verse 6 in this same chapter. maybe i should have hit this first. leviticus 16 verse 6. "and aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering which is for himself." see that? "and make an atonement for himself." which tells us then that aaron was just as much in need of a sinner's approach to god as the ordinary jew. then we drop down to verse 14, "then he was to take the second bullock and sprinkle that blood then for the sins of the people." alright, i hope i made my point, that the priesthood of aaron was a human priesthood and they

were just as much in need of forgiveness and the atonement of their sin as the ordinary jew on the street. come back then again to hebrews chapter 5. and so not only was he human so that he could identify with the everyday experiences of the people but also that he recognized that he was a sinner and was just as much in need of forgiveness as the ordinary jew. now then verse 4 of chapter 5, "and no man (no even aaron)...no man taketh this honor (that is to be the high priest)...no man taketh this honor unto himself, but he that is called of god as was aaron." get the picture?

who commissioned aaron to be the first high priest? god did! let's go back again and look at the scriptures. let's go back to exodus 28 when we see the beginning of this whole system of religion. the building of the tabernacle. and the establishing of the priesthood. and the clothing that he would wear. this is all back here in exodus. but let's just look for now at how that god commissioned aaron to be the high priest. moses didn't appoint him nor anyone else. only god. chapter 28 of exodus and verse 1. here's the instruction, and god says to moses now, "take thou unto thee aaron thy brother." now you haven't all found it yet, i'd better wait a second. exodus 28 verse 1. our television audience waits

until you've found it because otherwise they haven't had time either. so now 28 verse 1, god says to moses, "take thou unto thee aaron thy brother and his sons with him from among the children of israel, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office, aaron, nadab, abihu, eleazar and ithamar, aaron's sons." then the rest of the chapter is covered with instructions for their clothing. on the other side of the coin, turn with me to numbers 16 and you all, i trust, know the strange fire of korah. numbers 16, now korah was a member of the tribes of israel and he got a little

arrogant and puffed up and he just didn't feel that moses and aaron were the only fish in the pond. and so he took it upon himself to play the role of a priest. and so here in numbers 16 we find the account. now verse 1, "now account. now verse 1, "now korah, the son of ishar, the son of kohath, the son of levi" and so on and so forth. verse 2, "rose up before moses with certain of the children of israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly. and they gathered themselves together against moses and against aaron and said unto them, you take too much upon you." see their arrogance? they're telling moses and aaron, hey, you're trying to be the big wheel. we're going to have just as much a part of this as you. and so they say, "you take too much upon you seeing all the congregation are holy, everyone of them and the

lord is among them wherefore do you lift yourselves up above the congregation of the lord? and when moses heard that (what'd he do?) he fell on his face." and the thought how can anyone be so brazen. verse 5. "and he spake unto korah and all his company saying, even tomorrow the lord will show who are his and who is holy and will cause him to come near unto him; even him who he hath chosen will he cause to come near. "now this is moses" instruction to korah and those that were following him. "this do, take your censers (that is the fire), korah and all his company and put fire therein and put incense in them before the lord tomorrow and it shall be that the man whom the lord doth choose he shall be holy." verse 9, "seemeth it but a small thing unto you that the god of israel has

separated you from the congregation of israel to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle and to stand before the congregation to minister?" well, anyway, i think you know what happened and you can come all the way down to verse 21. next day comes around and here comes korah and these 250 and their going to play the role of the high priests, you see. alright, so you come all the way down to verse 21. "separate yourselves (moses tells the people of israel)...separate yourselves from among this congregation that i may consume them in a moment. and they fell upon their faces and said, o god, the god of the sprits of all

flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be angry with all the congregation? and the lord spake unto moses saying, speak to the congregation. get you up from about the tabernacle of korah, dathan and abiram and moses rose up and went unto dathan and abiram; and the elders of israel followed him." well anyway you come on down and now verse 28. moses is going to give an example and he said, "hereby you shall know that the lord hath sent me (himself) to do these works for i have not done them in my own mind. if these men die the common death (in other words, if they continue on living and die from whatever other reason) of if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then the lord hath not sent me. but (moses says, now take notice) if the lord makes a new thing and the earth

opens her mouth and swallow them up with all that appertain unto them, and they go down into the pit, then you shall understand that these men have provoked the lord." alright, now we come down to the confrontation. let's see i want to be sure i don't skip something. verse 31, "and it came to pass as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave (or separated) asunder that was under them (that is under korah and his followers) the earth opened her mouth and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto korah (in other words, those who had connected themselves with him in his rebellion)...they and all that appertained to them went down alive into the pit (that is into sheol)

and the earth closed upon them and they perished from among the congregation." that's how seriously god dealt with false priests. and so always remember that when god stipulated certain things it was not to be taken lightly. we saw in the book of hebrews in one of our earlier programs, it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living god. well, korah and his family found out. now if you'll come back with me to hebrews again, so that aaron was designated by god himself, as the high priest and those that followed him. no man dared assume the role of a priest without god's commission and that's why i wanted you to see for yourself the account of korah. alright now then we'll move on into

the next verse and we move on into the priesthood again of christ himself. now remember, the priesthood of aaron were among men. they were human, they had the same failures, the same sinfulness as anyone else but god had commissioned them. but, this priest, christ is not of among men but the priesthood is a follow-up of what aaron began. so, the functions of the priesthood are relatively alike but here we had a human priest and here we have the son of god. verse 5, "so also christ glorified not himself." in other words, now here's where it gets ticklish doesn't it? when we start dealing with the trinity, the triune god, it is so hard for us to reckon the

fact that on the one hand christ was totally human. on the other hand he was totally god. and we have to take this by faith. so now here we see christ from his humanity, not demanding that he be made a priest, but rather what? god declaring that he's the priest. just like he did with aaron. okay, now look at this very carefully. so "christ glorified not himself to be made a high priest, but the father said, thou art my son, today i have begotten thee." now go on and read verse 6 and if we have time we'll come back and look at verse 5. "as he saith also in another place, thou art a priest for ever." now look, who's speaking it? god the father. to whom?

god the son. and yet we know that the son is a part of the godhead the same as the father. but here we're separating them just like in his earthy ministry. in his earthly ministry, i think i pointed out a few programs back, why does jesus in especially john 17, why does he pray to the father? well, he's praying from his humanity and then he can pray to the father. on another instance, he can make the same statement as the father and so here's where we have to separate these things by a study of the scripture and just simply take it by faith. it's beyond human comprehension. but nevertheless, here we find that god the father designates to god the son that he is to be the high priest not patterned

after aaron, but after melchisedek. now, i've only got two minutes left and then i get into a dilemma. i don't want to go where i can't continue and i don't want to just fill up two minutes with fluff, but i think we'll go back to psalms chapter 2 where paul is quoting and whatever time we have we'll use up and then we'll pick it up in our next program. psalms chapter 2 where we have it word for word as paul is using it here in the book of hebrews. psalms chapter 2 verse 7. psalms chapter 2 verse 7. "i (god says,) will declare the decree: the lord hath said unto me, thou art my son: (so who is speaking to whom? well god the father is speaking to god

the son) thou art my son, this day i have begotten thee." now we have to be careful, when did david write the psalms? well, somewhere in the neighborhood of 1000 bc. was that when christ was begotten, the only begotten son of the father? no, this is prophecy see? this is something that is going to take place years and years out into the future. but, here's the setting god the father has spoken to the son and he says, "this day i have begotten thee. (verse 8) ask of me and i shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance." so then you come all the way down through this chapter it's a delegation of the authority that god imparts to the son. thank you for watching through the bible with les

[laughter] >> o.k., because it really matters to me. it is based on one thing only: results. >> dr. murad: and really, it's not typical of infomercials, because it's based on years of research, years of actually looking at patients and seeing the results and looking at all the different attributes of the formula, making sure it was something that was perfect for what hormonal aging is. >> when i heard about hormonal aging, i really didn't know that much about it and it was great to learn more about it and i thought, "well, i'm 39, could i really have hormonal aging, is this what's going on?" and it was great to find a product that actually helps fight hormonal aging. >> at 48 years old, i was gonna

give up. my skin was dry, dull, spotty and i started looking like my mother. sorry, mom. i thought, well, maybe this is what i'm supposed to be, i mean, there wasn't a whole lot i could do. but since i started using the resurgence product, i look younger, i feel better, i feel better about myself. i know that i'm gonna use this product for the rest of my life. >> the wrinkles have disappeared and the suppleness has returned. my husband actually cupped my face in his hands and said, "girl, you've never looked better." >> female announcer: now it's your turn to get skin this beautiful with murad resurgence. resurgence is the only comprehensive skin care line specifically designed to target all the signs of hormonally aging skin. in just three simple steps, you can exfoliate dry, dead skin cells, help stimulate collagen production, and lock in hydration the very first time you use it. through this exclusive television offer you can get a full 30-day supply of resurgence for only $39.95! and we'll send you murad's get

[♪...] >> one of my main jobs as a stuntwoman is doubling an 18-year-old. i've doubled for a lot of actually kids' shows and teen shows. my skin takes a beating on a regular basis. doubling young people is my bread and butter, and resurgence is really gonna help me to continue to look young, and i like to take very good care of my skin because i'm still a woman at the end of the day, even though i do stunts. >> my a-ha moment when i knew resurgence was something special was when my "spa girlfriend", the one who's tried every expensive product under the sun, after i'd only been using the product one week, came up to me and went, "what are you doing? what are you on? what have you done? what have you had done?" and i go, "oh, it's the new resurgence line that i'm using." >> there's a certain point where you think, i'm just getting older, there's nothing i can do. but it's so wonderful to find something that makes it softer,

that makes it easier, there is something i can do. i'm not going to look 30, i don't expect to look 30, i don't even want to-- but to look young for my age is great. thank you, dr. murad, for caring about women of all ages. >> now, doctor, i know that you and your team at murad get thousands of letters from women, but they shared one with me that i want to take a moment and just share it with all of you today. "being a four-time breast cancer survivor, i honestly can say, i'm very careful what i put on my skin and murad resurgence is the only thing i will use for the rest of my life. i love it and thanks again for creating such an amazing product. yours truly, carolyn." let us all welcome carolyn. [cheering and applause] so glad to have you here. >> dr. murad: thank you for that letter... amazing! >> you really are the essence of what it means to take care

of yourself. >> i've been through a lot. four-time cancer survivor, but i can honestly say, dr. murad, i cannot thank you enough because the product is amazing. sick as i was, i brought all my resurgence products and i would climb out of my hospital bed and put the resurgence on. and the nurses would come in and they'd say, "you'd never know what you've been through because you look so healthy. what are you using on your skin?" so i said, "well, let me tell you about it." [laughter] >> it's so powerful when you get up in the morning and you look in that mirror-- >> that's right. >> and that woman looking back at you just has that glow. >> i've never felt so good. i feel 10 years younger and i cannot believe-- you're right, when i look in the mirror, i look... "wow, i look like i did maybe even 15 or 20 years ago." i said, "jeez, i feel good!" >> seriously, it created your own little personal resurgence. >> absolutely. i really watch what i put on my skin. when i read all the ingredients that was in resurgence, i thought, this is the product for me.

>> being a pharmacist, the r.x. stands for recipe, so my recipe of adding all of these things together and have the perfect blend that makes such a unique difference in everybody's skin. and you're like the poster child. you're the one that looks like-- >> joan: you are like the poster child. >> in just one night, i noticed a difference. it makes you feel great. so i'd like to get it and have a whole bath in it. [laughter] [cheering and applause] >> joan: most of us would never leave the house without makeup, let alone appear on national tv without even a drop of concealer. but this group of daring women did just that as they bared all for our cameras and for murad's state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment. the women had their skin analyzed and measured for wrinkles, skin texture and hydration before and after 30 days of using resurgence. >> woman: the number of wrinkles on your face has decreased by more than 50%. >> dr. murad: unbelievable! look at this!

[laughs] i mean, i can't say anything-- it works! what more can i say? the numbers prove it, my skin looks good, so it works. >> i will never put anything else on my skin other than resurgence for the rest of my life, and i can't believe i'm saying that on national tv with no makeup, but it's true. >> it's just this healthy, hydrated look and i love that. >> i feel younger, i look younger-- i love how my skin looks! >> i'm 52 and i have a nine-year-old daughter, i'm an older mom, so when i go to the school to pick up, i'm probably with around 30- to 32-year-olds. i have seen dramatic results in less than 30 days.
