was no way you could get a great workout in only a few minutes a day. >> in just six to eight minutes a day, you can get in shape and stay in the best shape of your life. >> if you want to make a change in your life, whether it's to lose weight, whether it's to get strong, whatever you want to do, the total gym can satisfy all those things. >> total gym works your arms, your back, your stomach, anything you have, any part of your body, and it works it really well. >> it's the most effective piece of workout equipment i have ever used. >> christie: it's fast, fun and effective, and most important... >> the total gym works. [♪...] >> 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, um, and i think i lost 10 pounds that very 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. >> i'm glad i ordered the total gym. >> get off the couch, get on a total gym, get fit for life. >> one of the biggest reasons people give for why they don't work out is time. well, i don't have that excuse anymore thanks to the total gym. now i can easily fit a workout in, in as little as six to eight minutes a day, without ever having to leave the comfort 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. [♪...] >> man: when i'm looking through these pictures, i just can't believe that's me. >> i'm kind of disgusted. >> and 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 the back of those quads... 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! >> pro football player kellen winslow was first introduced to the total gym by his dad when he was only 13 years old, and he's been using it ever since. [♪...] >> 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. >> recently, i had a chance to meet a group of total gym users to share some exercise tips and hear how it changed their lives. ...well, why don't you show me your favorite exercise on the total gym? >> my favorite is for my triceps because they were really flabby, they... yeah. this is my favorite one. >> christie: oh, i love that. >> and when i started doing this very simple exercise, i could feel it in my shoulders. >> christie: that's great. raymon, why don't you show us what you do to actually build muscle? >> this right here is my favorite front exercise for the front shoulders, front deltoids. >> did you notice how very different it is if you just switch your hand and have the palms up? sort of in the biceps... >> and the thing is you can switch it on the same level and work two different exer... two different body parts. >> and twist your upper body... while isolating the lower body so you can really feel it right

in the waist, right? >> get rid of those love handles. >> and what i love is how quickly and easily you can switch from one exercise to the other. so you're stretching, you're pulling back, tightening your stomach muscles. >> oh, you really feel it. >> isn't that great? >> that is. >> and i wanna thank all three of you for being with us today. it's been a lot of fun. >> we'd like to say something too. >> all: thank you, total gym! [♪...] >> you know what's great, is we have this total gym in our bedroom. and you know, we can slip it under the bed and then just pull 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. [laughs] >> 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 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. >> [laughs] that'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. 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 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. [♪...] 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 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 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 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 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 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 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

[♪...] 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. >> 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! "i've not really changed my diet, just watching how much i eat and using the total gym." 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 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 abohe 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 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 "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 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.

[♪...] call the number on your screen.

[♪...] >> i started using the total gym when i was in my 30s and have stayed with it ever since. it's been perfect for me at every age, from my 30s to today. i have never found a piece of equipment that is as effective as the total gym. now in my 70s, i can still do all the things i enjoy. how about you? >> if you're sitting at home right now wondering if this is gonna work for you, i would... i would suggest that you pick up the phone, call and give it a shot. >> try the total gym. you have nothing to lose. >> people come up to me and they say, "christie, i've used the total gym and it's changed my life." >> it has changed my life to 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 a short time." >> why wait? there's never been a better time to get into the best shape of your life with the total gym.

>> i would agree, the total gym's given me an incredible lower body. [laughs] >> if you don't believe it, try it. >> if i can do it, you can do it. >> what's it gonna take to get you to just pick up the phone and change your life? >> what do have to lose except, you know, 70 pounds? >> it has worked for me and it can work for you. get ready to change your life with the total gym. >> announcer: the preceding program was a paid commercial presentation for total gym fitness.

announcer: the following is a paid presentation brought to you by my pillow, incorporated. hello, i'm mike lindell. i've invented of the world's most comfortable pillow. i make 'em right here in the united states. do not change that channel because the next half-hour is going to change your life. [audience applauds] >> it took me a while just to get out of bed and rejuvenate myself again, but after having the my pillow i just feel so much better... just, everything is just well taken care of, it feels like.

and there's no problem anymore. i don't fight with my pillow. >> i fall asleep with it right where it needs to be and i go to sleep and i don't think i move nearly as much as i used to, so i don't have the need for other pillows anymore. it's the perfect pillow. >> being made in america is wonderful but it's made right. and to the average consumer, you're looking at helping yourself to help the body help itself more. the pillow's a great place to start. >> i'm tonja waring and i am so excited to introduce you to our revolutionary new sleep aid that has literally chchchchchanged people's l, including mine. it's made right here in america, and you won't find it in any store. but first, let me ask you a few questions. do you or someone you care about wake up more tired than when you went to bed? do you wake up with a headache, a stiff neck or that tingling feeling in your fingers? how 'bout this: do you find yourself tossing and turning all night, stacking, folding, re-smooshing your pillows or even flipping it to the cool side just to get comfortable?

if you've answered yes to any of these questions, then you, like millions of other americans, simply aren't getting a good night's sleep. my friend and sleep expert, michael j. lindell, is the founder and inventor of a revolutionary new sleep aid. mike's here to share with us why getting a good night's sleep is the secret to a happy, healthy life. >> hi, tonja. >> hi. mike. >> well, it's not only the secret to a a a a a happy lifs critical to your health, and like everybody else out there, i have used my arms, folded my pillows, got migraines in the morning from sleeping g g g gr pillows and what it is, what i found in my studies over the last seven years is the cervical nerves on each side of your neck need to be held straight in order to get that deep rem sleep that we all need. that's our healing sleep. healing is critical to one's health and pillows are the problem. there is no bigger problem than pillows. >> mike, i hear what you're saying. according to the national sleep foundation, the average adult purchases 58 pillows over their lifetime, they own six different

pillows at any given time-- and this is what blew me away-- 70% of us do not like our current pillow we sleep with every night. what's going on here? >> well, i just happen to have some here. [laughs] these, these pillows, uh, in the last 30 years, in the 1970s, pillows kind of changed forever and we've all slept with this pillow here. this pillow here is, uh, it pushes back. you know when you sleep on your back, you feel that pillow. >> yeah, yeah. >> it's like spring, it's like pushing back at you. >> oh, right. >> you're on your back and you're like this with a tilted neck, you wake up in the morning, you've bent your precerebral arteries and you're gonna get headaches. this is no good. [audience laughs] okay, this pillow here, it becomes a hard surface. we've all slept in that, with the curve. the problem is pillows give you support here and here, nothing where your c1 and c2 is-- your axis and your ulna. those are critical to snoring, central sleep apnea, all these different things that you need support in your neck. this one here-- and you also need to be kept cool. this pillow here will heat up,

will also become a hard surface and it's no good. [laughter] >> what about this one? >> this one here has ruined america. we've all slept on this. there's no support. this has done more for bad sleep deprivation than anything anywhere. and another thing too, when you wash these pillows, you know they ball up in a washer and dryer... the big pillow company wants you buying more and more pillows and they don't care about your health. they don't care about our sleep. they don't care that we keep buying pillows over and over and over again. i just wanted some sleep and i did something about it, and this pillow here, i can't say enough bad things about, but it's terrible. >> mike, i love your pillow. it has a great warranty. i love that it's made in america. >> the best thing you're gonna like about this pillow is i get rem sleep, the deep-healing sleep, the sleep that helps all your, your health, how you feel the next day. i have a patent on this pillow, and what it is, is all three sizes of my fill are in every pillow. this stuff was warrantied 10 years, it won't go flat. it's the healthiest

thing ever invented. it's got... it's non-allergenic, it's anti-microbial, but the best thing it does... wherever you set this, okay, until you first get comfortable on your pillow and you're like this and you go like this and... now, tonja, i want you to feel that. you see how that holds? >> oh, my gosh. >> that will not migrate. wherever you set it, you get exactly what you need for your individual neck support, okay? you can trim this any way you want. you can make little balloon animals out of it. [laughter] it's gonna hold. okay, it takes six pounds of pressure to hold that in position. your average head weighs 12 pounds, so wherever you set that, you get exactly what you need for you as an individual. it's amazing, it will change your life. there's nothing like it on the planet. it's just amazing. now, if you're on your back... we've all seen that curve pillow. i think we just threw one away a minute ago. okay, that curved pillow like that only fits one in 30 people. remember, we told you that. it gives you support here and here, nothing here. well, you could be that one in 30, tonja. you take the pillow, you do like this, you tuck it, and you know what? no more snoring, okay?

the reason is you're supporting your c1 and c2, your breathing is better. other companies have said, "oh, yeah, we have this amazing cure for snoring." this will really work. from the testimonials i have from all the pillows i've sold, about 70% of the people don't snore anymore at all. [applause] >> what mike hasn't told you is that, already, hundreds of thousands of people have benefitted from sleeping on my pillow. >> i give 'em a 60-day money-back guarantee 'cause people, quite frankly, are tired of buying pillows that they can't return and get their money back. >> yeah. >> and we have... our customer service is the best in the country. we have an a+ rating with the better business bureau and we have zero complaints out of all the seven years i've been in business with the better business bureau. it's the most amazing product and i 100% guarantee it'll be the most comfortable pillow you'll ever own. >> well, i can honestly say that since i've been using my pillow, it's made an amazing difference in my life, and here's your opportunity to get your very own my pillow and make the rest of your life the best of your life.

so i got her one of the pillows, and ever since then, our whole family has 'em. >> healthy, normal people need to go to bed, stay asleep and wake up feeling good. when somebody's changing, um, anything in their lifestyle, um, you want to make sure that you're prepared to adapt to stress, and that's what sleep does. it prepares you and improves your ability to respond to stress, and so, right out of the chute, easiest thing i can recommend is my pillow. >> in order to get a good night's sleep we need to be in a position that is comfortable. if our body is contorted in any way, we can impinge on nerves that would lead to tingling, numbness, discomforts of various sort. if you could position yourself with a pillow that is comfortable, then these motor and sensory signals that you get

in a restless state don't occur and you have a lot more rem sleep. >> we're here with sleep expert michael j. lindell, founder and inventor of a revolutionary new sleep aid called my pillow. >> over the last seven years, what i came up with is a theory, after talking to hundreds of thousands of people that have the pillow... there's eight cervical nerves on each side of your neck, and what they do... they need to be in alignment, okay, to get-- for the signals to go to your brain. remember the old-fashioned tvs that had the horizontal hole, you know, the wavy line when it wasn't clear? when you first get set at night, you first get comfortable on your pillow, your brain says, "okay, i'm comfortable," 'cause your cervical nerves are lined up. >> yeah. >> well, what happens is the air starts going out of that pillow and they're bent, like bending a water hose, okay? when you do that, you go... [mimics gushing sound] your signal's not going through. same way with your arteries, your precerebral artery and your carotid artery... the blood flow to the brain needs to be, um, you know, open like a hose. >> is that why my concentration is so much better after i sleep on my pillow? >> that's exactly right.

>> good support, which is somehow the miracle of my pillow, uh, throughout the night is what we want. it's nice to fall asleep, but then, as your pillow collapses, you're gonna wake up again 'cause your position's changed. the my pillow, it seems that we're at a state that is comfortable and it stays the same throughout the night. >> what dr. kolodny has to say really reinforces what you've been telling us about my pillow. >> what it does.... that it can put you in a deep rem sleep, which is the healing sleep. it's also the most comfortable sleep. when you get comfortable at night, that's what sends you into the rem. that's when your cervical nerves, your neck is lined up. and, interesting enough, what's my theory on this-- this theory was brand new-- and it's true, and it's real and everybody knows that. now, it's out there because you've all done that with your arms, folded your pillows and done all this stuff and flip-flopped all night like a guppy. here, you stay with my pillow.

wherever you set this pillow, it's gonna hold, exactly for you as an individual. with my pillow, by keeping all those things in your neck straight, you get the best sleep of your life every single night and i guarantee it. we make 'em right here in the united states. the reason why i'm still in business is to help people. that's my calling, that's why i'm here and i want everybody to have the best night's sleep they've ever got in their life. >> absolutely, absolutely! [applause] >> i discovered that having my head, neck and spine perfectly aligned all night, whether it's on my side or whether, occasionally, i'm on my back, i can get a perfect cervical curvature, and my aligning that spine, the four cervical nerves running right through the middle of my neck going everywhere in my body and reporting back up, everything is in alignment. it's a phenomenal difference in the way that you're able to sleep. >> i fell asleep

instantly... instantly. >> i have found that i have more energy during the day. i sleep better, i'm not rustling around. my wife used to tell me that i used to flip around and move all over the bed. she has not said that since i've had the my pillow. so it's just been, it's overall has given me a better night's sleep, and again, that's why the rest of my family has the my pillow as well. >> with those other pillows that you're getting at the markets, they're just trash, really. they're just... they're cheap. and after you wash them, they bunch up, they're not the same anymore. with my pillow, you can toss it into the wash, you can air dry it, toss it into the dryer. it's such an easy pillow to take care of and it's gonna last you forever. >> earlier we talked about the importance of a good night's sleep which is something i can really relate to. i have to admit, i was pretty skeptical, but michael told me it would really work. and after about two or three weeks, i noticed that all of my migraines had disappeared. and what i really noticed is

that i could start going out to the gym, i could start exercising more, because any time i tried to do that before, i just would get excruciating headaches. and so, uh, one of the things... we talk about washing and drying a pillow... i've washed hundreds of pillows where they end up in that clump. well, i put it in the washer machine and when i took it out of the dryer and when it looked just like it did the day i bought it, i was sold. and that's when i wanted to buy 'em for my kids because my kids are always taking their pillow in the car. they're taking it to grandpa and grandma's house, they're throwing it in front of the tv and so i'd always end up washing their pillows and i knew that i was spending more money on gas driving back and forth to the department store to buy them a new one. and the other thing that i really wanted and i knew is that if they really started getting a good night sleep now, keeping their cervical nerves in alignment and doing all that stuff for their health that hopefully, when they got to be my age, they wouldn't have the kind of problems that i've had. so it's really important for me that my kids sleep on a great pillow. and they've even commented. my daughter-- i was out working one day-- and she said... i was kind of telling my pillow story,

and she said, "mom, i had no idea you were in that much pain." and she said, you know, and i just know that it's made me a much better mom.

>> we've had several people drive across the country today so that they could be here in our audience so that they could share the impact that my pillow has had made on their lives. and one of the first people that i want to introduce to you is andy. andy, if you'd be so kind, we'd love to hear how my pillow has made a difference for you. >> hi, mike. >> how you doing, andy? >> good, i met you at the state fair last year. >> yes, i remember. >> and i didn't even know i was looking for a pillow and you saw me and said, "i need to talk to you." and i gotta tell you, thanks, you know? its changed my life. it's changed the way i sleep. [laughs] i sleep, i think, is the big thing. >> it's a miracle. with your big shoulders-- there's a lot of people already like you. you have all kinds of problems because of, you know... >> and i'm a side sleeper, i've always been a side sleeper. my arm falls alseep... not anymore. >> not anymore. that's amazing, yeah. that's why i love some of these pillows, because of stories like yours. >> i take it with me

everywhere. >> right, right. >> it's been to texas twice, arizona... >> right. >> it didn't go on one trip. >> ...that went well for you. >> and, well, it didn't work too well. the first night i was down there-- it's two hours away to my wife's folks and, uh, it didn't make it. i woke up, you know, after an hour, two hours, three hours. finally, five o'clock in the morning, i got up, drove back up to where we live, grabbed the pillow... >> tonja: wow! >> there you go! >> so, on the second night... [applause] the second night, i had a good night's sleep. >> mike: right, that's awesome. >> and then, my wife, she'd like to thank you because i don't snore. >> wow, that's a... [laughs] you're back in the same bedroom! >> it's great. >> you know, it just goes to show even someone your size... we help everybody, from the smallest person up to the biggest, you know? >> it's great. >> that's an awesome story. >> and we're gonna see you again at the state fair this year? >> yes, you are.

i'll be there myself. >> thanks. >> thank you. [applause] >> andy was so enthusiastic about sharing his story and being here today so i can see why. thank you, andy. and next we have jennifer. i'm very happy to have jennifer up to share with us how my pillow's made a difference in her life. >> hi! >> mike: hello. >> tonja: hello, jennifer. >> how are you guys? >> mike and tonja: good. >> good. um... i just am a busy person on the go. i have two little girls that i chase after and i have my own company, a floral design company, and i volunteer every day. so when i go to bed, i really, really need sleep and i've tried pretty much every pillow out there: the flat pillows, the firm, i tried a water pillow and those memory foam pillows and i always woke up with a dull headache, just... it was not, you don't have the energy and you can't deal with children when you're dealing with that. i saw my pillow at one of your shows and i thought, you know, i'd invested enough money on pillows that didn't work, so i

thought i'd just try it. and that night i had the best night's sleep of my life in years and it's... it's, i've had the best night's sleep every night. i don't toss and turn anymore, i don't wake up with a dull headache. i just really feel good when i wake up. i have energy and i love my pillow. >> did you believe it when you saw the sign that said it did all that? it's too good to be true! >> i was really skeptical. my husband is the biggest skeptic ever. he's like, "you want to spend money on a pillow? go ahead, we'll see what happens," rolling his eyes. and, honest, it worked so well. i love my pillow, love it. >> mike: thank you, that's awesome. thank you. >> thank you for making it. [applause] >> i know, mike, that the 60-night money-back guarantee really makes a big difference for people who are skeptical, who know that they want to try a pillow but maybe they're afraid because they have had so many in the past that didn't work. >> right, and i've said, you know, back when i invented this seven years ago, or eight years ago, whatever it's been now, that was the one thing i wanted people to not have, that

skepticism, so i gave the... i believed in it so much, that's why i gave the 60-day money-back guarantee so they'd have nothing to lose and everything to gain. you have everything to gain. your health is the most important thing to your life. >> absolutely. >> and my pillows are more supportive of your health. >> absolutely, hands down. well, we have another gentleman in our audience his name is michael, and michael,thank you for being here today. >> well, my pillow helped a lot. a few years back i had a medical scare-- i had a jaw joint that was getting eaten away by a tumor. the good news is it wasn't malignant, it was benign. the downside of that is when they actually do the surgery, they actually have to sever the muscle that normally fits over your jaw joints, so now, at night, i've found that my mouth would come open and i would start snoring. my wife did not like that very much. so i came across my pillow at a county fair, and i thought, no, i'm not gonna buy a pillow. and he talked to me, he said, "listen, it's a money-back guarantee, try it out. what do you have to lose?" thought, okay, that's a pretty good pitch, let me try it.

that night i slept through the night and it really was one of the first night's that i can remember where i didn't toss. it was a nice, comfortable feeling and i woke up cool and i wasn't getting headaches. so the product does work. thank you for making what you made. >> and you don't snore anymore, you said? >> i don't snore anymore. >> [laughs] that's amazing. that's why i love selling this pillow, that's a wonderful... it's a miracle product, isn't it? >> yes, it is. >> definitely a life-changer. >> thank you. [applause] >> well, i want to thank you for those great my pillow stories and for joining us today. i know so many of us are grateful for the pillow that you've made, mike. and you get thousands and thousands of testimonials... >> i've got one here. i get these all the time, you're right. this is from... i've sent pillows over to afghanistan. this guy, he wrote me. he said, "i'm writing you because i haven't gotten a good night's sleep in over a month. we work 24-hour shifts so getting our crew rest is very important. right now, i'm sleeping on a cot with a bag full of unused clothes as a pillow--" which can be better than some of the pillows you've slept on! >> some of those we've seen today.

>> what we did, we sent some pillows and here was their response. "your pillows came in the mail two days ago, so i was able to test it out for two nights now, and i can't begin to tell you how nice it is to wake up with no neck pain and to be able to get a good night's sleep. i've already told the rest of my guys how much of a difference your pillow is already making. thank you so much and god bless, chief warrant officer patrick devlin, afghanistan." and what we've got... [applause] and what i've done since we got that... we've been sending more and more over there to our troops and we've also.... in the united states, just the military bases, to be able to sell in there because they like our product and we've been okayed for... all the way to alaska. and we're helping, you know, not only the everyday people but we're helping our troops through it and it's just amazing. this is why i sell the pillow. >> mike, you just have my utmost respect for your commitment to our troops, for your commitment to the american people, for manufacturing here in the united states, and just what you provide for people's

overall health. [applause] >> i would recommend if you're taking medications to fall asleep at night and coffee to keep you awake in the day that you try my pillow and see what a difference it can make in your life. >> my pillow is all i need. i don't need two pillows, uh, and i don't need to constantly tuck it in the back of my neck and shoulders to be comfortable as the night wears on. >> i work in a physical therapy clinic and we see a lot of patients with stiff necks and sore shoulders and just having difficulty sleeping. and since my experience with my pillow i recommend that they give it a try. >> i know that most of us never stop to think about the tremendous difference that a pillow can make to our overall health and well being. but my hope for today is that you'll take this valuable information and you'll experience for yourself the tremendous difference that a my

pillow can make in your life.
