Hi , Im Denice I did have the total gyn and sold it to my cousin, I thought it s*****, There is nooooooooooo way you will get your heart rate up like a pure cardio tape and or strength tapes like cathes. I would if I were you send it back. Good luck. Denice

Just curious as to why you feel you have to be sore after a workout? Some Cathe tape workouts make me sore (always the chest ones and sometimes the tricep ones) but that doesn't mean I'm not getting a good workout if I don't get sore. The mirror tells me whether my workouts are producing the results I want. I DO know that the Total Gym has been used for years in rehab facilities, and if I had the money, I'd get one, too. My ex-husband had one and I used it once in a while....I wish I'd taken it when we split up!

I have aTotal Gym and though I haven't used mine in a while, I love mine!! What height are you putting yours on? I try to put mine on the heighest height, or next to heighest height. I wasn't always sore either, but me, my brother, and my sis-in-law all saw results. I've never used it for the cardio part though, because I don't think that it's good for cardio, but for strength I thought it worked fine.

for honeybunch and all

hi all Thanks so much for the feedback .. i hope its keeps coming, and honeybunch .. u know i really don't know why i have to be sore a few days after a workout except that everytime i have had what i call an accomplished workout, i have always been sore!! I have used the PS series once since i got it a week ago and when i did the leg/ab tape- Lord have mercy .. my butt and legs hurt for a week .. i could barely sit and get up without saying ohhh ahhhh.. but i felt like i did a good job.. Maybe i went too heavy .. but its a good feeling when i am sore.. correct me if i am wrong but i feel as though results are coming.. ??I was sore from chest/tri tape too.. but not near as bad. and the back/bicepts.. not sore in my back.. but bicepts yes!! Getting back to the total gym .. i do feel whipped when i finish a w/out .. but never "feel" it the next day ..I paid alot of money for it and hate to just let it sit- i guess my mind is programmed to think "sore = results"! I like my total gym and may keep it now with these few positive posts..I know the stronger i get thru Cathe's tapes.. the more i may enjoy working on the Total Gym,and vice versa! i will be stonger and will be able to get more results hopefully. Best wishes to all .. and keep the feedback coming. Thank God i decided to step up to the challenge and buy a Cathe tape and discovered this site.. I get so much motivation from this alone.. i come everyday and read postings.. Thanks to all .. honeybunch. . let me know what you think about this reply .. Thanks again ..

RE: for honeybunch and all

The Total Gym that I did use reminded me of a pilates machines, in that it was great for stretching and lengthening the muscles, which is why they are used for rehabilitation, unless of course if you increase the resistance of the Total Gym then it would give you more of a strengthening type workout.

hello kandeycane, i just wanted to respond to your total gym question. I really like mine, and I have noticed results with it. But I don't know about any reviews or anything on it. But I also have been doing other workouts like The Firm, and in the past 4 weeks I have been adding t-tapp to my routine. I have lost 19 inches since I started t-tapp. And I just recently bought a few cathe tapes. So far I have tried the Cardio Kicks, which I loved, and the wedding video which I thought was pretty good too. My only question is where did you buy your total gym? I bought mine at BJ's wholesale club,and it was only 190.00 dollars.
