Total Gym Leg Pulley Exercises

[@lucaslegz]

Than you for the video. This may be a stupid question but how do you put the straps on your ankles so that the strap does not come from under your foot?

[@deborahrobertelli8714]

This looks great ! I started working out my legs with the bottoms part of the total gym and it’s worked in the past for me as well. Just wondering though, how hard is it to detach that ankle thing from your leg when your done with your leg pulley workout

[@robertshaw-bell4842]

Great vid + instruction. Thx However, hamstring curl isn't correct but rather is leg extension.

[@murphyhayes4001]

Where is the other end of the rope attached and is the exercise for guys also? Thanks!😊

[@dak85016]

Thank you. Need more of this content. Would like to see one with extension cable to work both legs at the same time.

[@kaththankful9628]

Me too.

[@tamiannhowell6598]

Thank you for mentioning that correct level to start to help me. Has a beginner what level you start out is very important. But other instructors missed that important instruction . Which is what level should we start at as beginners? This young lady did a good job of mentioning the levels to start with. Thank you very much 😊

[@stephanies1216]

Hey lady can you show how you place the ankle belt on? It would be very helpful, please and thank you.

[@shelly5596]

Thank you for getting back to me. The one that came with our machine isn't comfortable to use with the style of shoes I wear for working out

[@Hello-zg5le]

Hello my total gym do not have that thing that's at the top of the total gym how do I get it so I can attach cables? What's it called!?

[@catherinesingelsether3488]

This is a great sequence and I've really benefitted from its implementation into my everyday routine

[@aidahartmann3473]

Very clear demonstrations and verbal directions, Thank you!

[@tonymorvay44]

I have the same question as Richard where can I buy the leg pulley system in the UK, great instructions very clear

[@paullaneal5836]

Where can I get a new ankle harness. The one that came with my total gym comes undone when working out.

[@jeanitasykescoaching]

Ok, first...thank you so much for specifying when to inhale and exhale, because that has always been a mystery to me when exercising!!!!! Great tutorial for newbies like me!!!

[@heidimulik5928]

Enjoyed the video and the tips included. A few mistakes with the targeted muscles. Abduction works the muscles on the outside of the hip/thigh. Adduction works the muscles of the inner thigh. This is backwards in the video. Also, the "hamstring curl" is actually a quadriceps exercise.

[@gr8ride411]

Thank you for clarifying the use of the leg accessory. Just bought a Fit model recently and been using it quite regularly. I'm really enjoying the convenience and variety of exercises it offers. Your video makes it better because of the detailed instructions shown.

[@kimwilliams3081]

Thank you for your video!!!! I recently purchased my Total Gym FIT machine and had no idea how to attach my leg pulley. Your exercises and demonstration of them, is the best I've seen. Thanks, again🤗🤗

[@mosesthiago3468]

I know I'm quite randomly asking but do anyone know a good site to stream new series online?

[@finnreyansh5234]

@Moses Thiago Lately I have been using flixzone. Just search on google for it :)

[@messiahroy8729]

@Finn Reyansh yup, been watching on Flixzone for since april myself :D

[@mosesthiago3468]

@Finn Reyansh Thanks, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I appreciate it!

[@finnreyansh5234]

@Moses Thiago glad I could help :)

[@dazem8]

thank you for this. i have been wanting to work on my thighs and hips but i didn't have any ideas and was scared i would do it wrong and injure myself.

[@bvkandala]

How do I attach

[@r.mercado9737]

Nicely executed! Semper Fi

[@sfink16]

Good video but I sense that portions of the exercises you demonstrate may not work well for me because of my height. I'm 6'6" tall. When I tried the very first exercise where you say to bend your off knee and rest your foot on the platform, there is no platform left for me to rest my foot, even with my head as high up on the board as possible. I did the exercise with my off foot in mid air. Is this dangerous? It doesn't feel dangerous and I can feel my hamstring working.

[@colleensaracino8195]

Excellent video! Can’t wait to try it!

[@tamiannhowell6598]

Very good video

[@tammied1858]

Great routine!

[@allenletizia321]

You did a great job 👍

[@mcquellpratt79]

Just got my total gym. Your vid is the best yet.

[@noradattilo1009]

Well done!!! Thank you

[@kaththankful9628]

I have an older model, 11,000. Are the instructions the same?

[@bendeliso390]

Is the machine the same?

[@teozorrilla1933]

What is the additional metal piece that came with Kit for? It's a rectangular metal piece.

[@gaylefynaut562]

I know this is 3 months old, but which total gym did you buy? Also did you figure out how to use the rectangle piece?

[@bmetz3843]

Where did you buy that pulley system? I want to purchase a second one so I can work both legs

[@rmheaton2023]

Bridge Metz I love this

[@real77630]

Thanks great video that is not a hamstring curl that is a leg extension works the the Quadriceps not the hamstring just to let you know

[@bethbremeremrich6228]

I was astonished that she wouldn’t know this. Wonder what her training is? Apparently she doesn’t know the difference between extension and flexion.

[@lenabing3162]

Very helpful

[@belrey8961]

Hi, I've just started working out on my total gym and the rope for the leg pulley system seems longer than the ones I see in the videos. When I attach everything, it seems to be too long and coils up on the floor. Should I tie knots in it by the ends to shorten the rope? Not sure if this is recommended.

[@gladlock]

yes tie one big knot. But actually, if you buy a second foot strap, the cord is long enough to work with both feet up. You just don't attach anything to the glide board, friction pulls you up.

[@kaththankful9628]

@@gladlock Could you please elaborate on this? I can't visualize this. Thank you.

[@gladlock]

@@kaththankful9628 I am terrible at explaining but here I go. To shorten the rope, fold it in two towards the end that anchors to the foot, and tie it into knot as far away as you need to shorten the rope. To do two-legged exercises, you will not anchor the rope to the glideboard. You anchor the middle of the rope to the tower and anchor both tips of the rope to your shoes. Your own weight will keep you anchored to the glideboard and you can do pilates-type exercises. Things to note: Total Gym doesn't come with two shoe straps anymore, and you might need an extra carabiner to attach the second shoe strap if you guy one. I think TG has a kit with two feet though

[@iGrooveable]

Hi, thanks for the video :). I've got the XLS. I'm not quite sure how the pulley hooks up to the tower. I've got some figuring out to do :P.

[@shelly5596]

The leg pulley attachment for our Total Gym 1800 isn't comfortable for me to wear with my athletic shoes. Can we use the other shoe attachments that ride higher on the ankle with our 1800?

[@kaybrown5637]

I'm the same way. Whenever I'd use the leg pulley attachment, it felt like my knees were being 'torqued' in all directions and those exercises on the Total Gym always hurt my knees. :-(

[@kaydbug648]

Would love to see more using the pulley system00

[@hicksa1]

hi where can I get a double pulley system. BTW you look great thanks.

How many reps?

[@StudyMonster]

His eyes were burning because the was using peppermint oil. It is strong and makes the scalp tingle. You can use it to prevent dandruff. I like the mix though....lol. I'm going to have to try that! My husband would have been mad too!

[@raykirton6301]

Thank you for your knowledge Jodai

[@kaybrown5637]

I've tried doing leg workouts with the pulley system on my Total Gym and end up wrecking my knees. I can't even do leg presses on my Total Gym without wrecking me knees, too. The Pilates machine is good for legs, but the Total Gym is better for upper body workouts and that's the only reason I'm keeping my Total Gym.

[@totalgymdirect]

Interesting, as the Total Gym is widely known as a successful physical therapy/rehab machine.

[@jackiebrissonnette514]

nice will have to try this

[@steelheart4148]

That is not a Hamstring curl. You are doing a leg extension, which works the quadriceps (front thigh) muscle.

[@gladlock]

I feel my hamstrings work more than the quads with that exercise

[@johnburrus7768]

There are variations to these movements, "practice makes perfect!" ha,ha!

[@vernetta6287]

where can I get the DVD to go with the total gym ?

[@totalgymdirect]

Hi Vernetta, We have many DVDs for sale on our website: totalgymdirect.com

[@kushpatel8968]

when im doing the leg pull why does my feet come off the wing attachments

[@paullasmith4975]

There's a hole for the weight bar for added weight and resistance. For some reason, you didn't demonstrate it.

[@gladlock]

not all of them have it. mine doesn't

[@lovejoy2830]

Awesome! ! thanks

[@acbrutality]

10:40 is leg extension for quadriceps not glutes!

[@johnburrus7768]

Man, Woman, or Child (supervised), these moves are very beneficial ! jb.

[@kimjansson2338]

Last one not leg curl, but knee extension!!!!

[@ThaRealERAQ]

This looks like ... fun ;)

[@ericevans3531]

Good video, but I laugh at these videos and equipment because nothing is never designed for a total lard ass. I'm not saying that to be funny but as easy as some of these exercises look to do, a person with severe weight or range of movement challenges will have major difficulty even trying to attempt to do these exercises properly and safely. Most pieces of equipment were designed with a one size fits all cases kind of idea which isn't always the case. Some of this can be super uncomfortable and even dangerous to someone morbidly obese or close to it. Use caution and be careful. My big concern is the strength of the equipment for everyone's weight.

[@totalgymdirect]

That's why we have weight limits ascribed to each Total Gym model. And yes, you're right, not everyone is able to do these exercises, but that's why we have literally hundreds of workouts on our KZbin channel. There's something for everyone there, regardless of fitness level. Just because the video exists doesn't mean you HAVE to do the exercises...
