Ab Gadgets

Will those ab gadgets get you a Six Pack, Abs of Steel, Ripped Abs…..Everyone wants them and those infomercial wizards know it. They’re on t.v. 24-7 promising you the stomach of your dreams if you just buy their amazing gadget. So how do you know what works and what doesn’t. It can be difficult to tell when they provide you with compelling testimonials and "scientific research". Some of these products are even endorsed by fitness gurus who have a good reputation in the fitness industry. Are these good reasons to buy a product? Definitely not. In order to make an informed decision you must know how the product really works and the pros and cons. The following reviews will help you choose the best product for you.

The Best Ab Gadget: Power Wheel II, Power Training, Body Building & Fitness
Rated the number one ab training device by an independent study at UC Berkeley. This device is inexpensive and it challenges your abs the way abs are intended to work, with stabilizing movements vs. repetitive crunches. Read more about the Best Ab Exercise and how this helped me get a stronger core.

The Ab Gadets To Avoid
Ab Away Pro- endorsed by Abs of Steel video instructor, Tamilee Webb, claims to “get you results faster than ever before” and “allows you to do traditional style sit-ups correctly”. It does support your entire back neck and head, but contrary to ab gadget claims this actually weakens what’s called the flexor chain (neck flexors, ab flexors, and hip flexors must all contract in order for any type of crunch to work). The other major problem is that traditional sit-ups and crunches are probably the worst exercises for sculpting great abs. This product limits you to only a few exercises that only work your upper abs. Save your $139.95.

AbTronics, AbSonic, Igia Electrosage 8,and Electro Gym, claim that just wearing the belt will sculpt ripped abs. Some fitness competitors actually use this type of technology to get serious cuts but these people are already in amazing shape. If you’re average this product will do nothing for you except maybe cause painful skin burns. The Federal Trade Commission has actually taken action against three manufacturers of electronic abdominal belts for falsely claiming that their products could give users "six-pack" abs and help them lose inches in a short time. Save your $29.95.

Ab Doer Pro- claims that "If you want to reduce that waistline, you simply have to move those muscles in and around the entire midsection for fat burning and body shaping." The truth is that if you want to reduce your waistline you have to eat healthy and burn fat with fullbody exercise and this machine does neither. Moving around doesn't do more than you could accomplish with a hola hoop! Save your $84.99.
