Total Gym gives an excellent stretch workout.

My son, Shane, and I have been going at it regularly everyday this week with our rigorous morning and sometimes afternoon workouts. However, this morning we decided to switch up our routine with the Total Gym. We also have Joe Weider version of the Total Gym called Total Body Works 5000, which I believe to be superior to the Total Gym. Anyone these machines are great for stretching the body as you extend during the exercises. They also work the muscles in safe unique ways. This added variety helps prevents injuries and moves you towards your fitness goals more quickly.
