| Qualities |
|
This device sits in the lap and has a padded rest that one can lean their chest against while gripping the handlebars or, alternatively, it can be turned upside down with the rest on the lap to provide stronger resistance. The muscle strengthening exercise is accomplished by contracting and expanding the handlebars, and there are exercises that work both the upper and lower abdominal muscles as well as the obliques. This ab exerciser is claimed to result in losing 10 pounds and 2 inches in two weeks, or the company will refund your money. The range of motion allows one to get rid of love handles while creating a flatter belly. There are seven adjustable levels of resistance to make this ab machine appropriate for people at all levels of fitness, including beginners; the higher resistance creates a more intense muscle workout and also increase fat burning. This machine uses an “autoglide” system with motion similar to rocking in a rocking chair, enabling one to move in and out of the muscle contraction easily. Using this system while seated avoids the problems of neck and back strain that can occur when doing crunches on the floor.
This machine is heavily advertised on television and the infomercials have videos showing the different types of exercises that can be done with this machine. While this machine strengthens muscles and helps burn fat, using it in conjunction with an exercise or workout program is claimed to produce the best results.
