When i first got in exercising all i wanted was the six pack, after a look around,reading several articles and asking friends the best answer that 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; straight:legs knees bent, hips twisted, legs raised and 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 options for the other crucial muscles for good posture and core strength. Muscle like the back and the legs.
Another point regarding this machine is that if you have little space then the Abdotrim could prove a problem as it is quite big and doesn't fir under the stairs.
If the plan is to incorporate this into your daily exercise plan with other equipment then i definitely recommend it, as it isolates the abdominals and is well worth the money.
But if your just starting to exercise, or only want a quick ten minutes a day, or are looking for a balanced workout then I would say pick another apparatus such as the gym ball
