Maximize the 14 Different Body Positions on Your Total Gym!

Position #3 – Seated/Kneeling/High Kneeling Sideways

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

This is Part 3 of a 7-Part series and will cover the positions with your body perpendicular to the Glide Board. (Scroll to the bottom to see all 14 body positions)

Time is life’s most precious resource. And for many of us, I’m sure you’ll agree, it’s a scarce resource! But have no fear. Taking time to work out actually creates more time in your life! (more energy, fewer sick days, increased brain cognition, etc).

So let’s turn up the efficiency knob on our Total Gym workouts to maximize your results. You can do this by taking full advantage of the multitude of exercises you can do once you get your body into a position on your Total Gym.

Ask yourself this simple question: Once I get my body positioned on my Total Gym, what can I do from here? This series answers that question!

Today’s body position, Sideways, is a fun one!  Check out the video as you’ll learn several Compound Exercises – which is combining more than one exercise for multitasking at its best.

Have some Fun playing with the 3 body position options:

• Seated – Your bum is planted firmly on the Glide Board. You’re stable in this position, so you can challenge yourself by using more resistance.
• Kneeling – Your buns are seated on your heels. This position adds a little bit of instability, so you are challenging your balance and proprioception – always a good thing!
• High-Kneeling – The biggest stability challenge. Start with your knees wider than your hips, and then you can progress by moving the knees closer together for an added balance and proprioception challenge.

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