Review of Weider Crunch Trainer

no pain no gain

Advantages: everything about it
Disadvantages: you lose more inches than pounds if you do it right

...seat and back of the Ab King Pro dont look particularly comfortable however, they provide the right amount of support needed for your bum and back and the convenient foot rest that you tuck your feet behind stops any unwitting cheating by people naturally lifting their legs up as of yet, i have had this 3 months, i have not lost any weight, however, i have lots 3 inches from my hips and 2 from my waist as i am building up muscle which has a higher ...
...weight and see the scales slowly go down, i wouldnt go for this. this is for those who understand that its not just numbers that matter its how you look and i would much rather slim down and be toned than drop down a few pounds but still be fat. ...

Review of Ab King Pro

cruncher

Advantages: great for the abs and obliques, good price
Disadvantages: little variety, big

...came back was the Abdotrim. Leisurewise Abdotrim cost me around £20. It was extremely easy to put together as only a couple of bolts are needed. This process takes 5 minutes maximum. I loved it when i first bought it because i could feel my abdominals working well and they always felt tight and tired after use. There a number of exercises that can be used on the Abdotrim, focussing on the obliques the upper abs and lower abs. Exercises include; ...
...hip raising. Different muscles can also be used and tensed by changing the position of the arms on the Abdotrim. such as cross-over arms, elbows in, wide grip, narrow grip and many more. But after a while and as my gym knowledge increased I realised that my previous love of this machine was incorrect. I learned that this machine only isolated those certain muscles where as other options(such as the gym ball) could also do the same but also offered ...

Review of Leisurewise Abdotrim Tummy Exerciser

A flat stomach the easy way?

Advantages: It does give you something to focus on and is easier than sit ups
Disadvantages: It isn't very robust and probably would give a man a decent workout

I do enjoy watching shopping channels but the trouble with doing just that is you can tend to start believing what they say! I had seen the programme for 6 Second Abs some time ago and it looked good but I didn't do anything about it however recently, having lost some weight over the Summer with the Mayo Diet and now having settled for a healthy eating regime to keep my blood pressure under control (the DASH diet), I decided it would be good to get ...
...up again. 6 Second Abs is a small lightweight exercise machine designed to help you tone up your abdominal muscles without the dreaded sit ups. I hate doing sit ups and I do feel it puts a strain on my back and neck so anything that would help with that had to be an improvement from my point of view. I have also been very impressed with the improvements in my thigh tone that I achieved from using Leg Master so I was hoping I had found a similar ...

Review of First UK 6 Second Abs

Another superb Fitness item bought via Infomercial

Advantages: Allows one to thoroughly focus on training those Abdominal Muscles!
Disadvantages: Not much that I can think of!!!!

...put it down to the Ab Revolutionizer alone … because I have used my other superb piece of home exercise equipment (the Total Gym 1000 as mentioned before) to build lots of good fat-burning muscle on other parts of my body that can only help to speed up my metabolism … and I have also been careful with what I have been eating (and I do NOT mean eating less by any means! … Instead I mean just being sure I eat the right kinds of Carbohydrates, Proteins, ...
...have got from using the AB Revolutionizer. So if, like me, you want tighter, stronger and altogether better abs -and are prepared to put in the necessary 'gym time' - and other things such as good nutrition, and other body conditioning exercises, etc, etc - Then I believe you will want to consider the possibility of doing what I did and getting one of these for yourself!! ...
