[pdo]

This things is around $60-70 everywhere else I have check and Egghead has it in clearance for $29+shipping which is not a bad deals at all. Now I don't know how well this things work so don't flame me gentlemen.

If you are going to buy from the TV show, then this is a good deal. Or maybe a gift for those who needs it.
Anyone here got this thing?

(for me, i rather spend this on sound card or something to upgrade my PC )

I bought the plain wheel. For $10 I think it's a better deal and probably a better work out. No springs to help you get back to the start position. Bought it at Dick's B&M. Included card should it's from gofit.com if you want more info.

That ab wheel thing definately works....gives ur abs a good workout...much better than crunches and situps.

I disagree, situps and crunches are more effective. Let's see if this ab wheel thing will stand the test of time, of it'll just be another gimmick ab machine of the month.

I can do crunches all day and not have my abs be sore the next day....20 minutes on the ab slide and i was hurtin the next day.

<<I disagree, situps and crunches are more effective. >>

so did you have personal experience with one of these things?

This sounds like a great deal. I have the ab rocker (it does kinda crunch-like motions) and it sucks. By next month, there will probably be some other type of ab machine besides that swinging ab thingy that's been on tv for awhile now.

I haven't used it but I've seen alot of informercial ab gimmicks come and go. Each one claims to be the best ab machine ever yet they are replaced in a few months by the next toy they want to market to America. Sit ups and crunches have been around for forever, if this is ab dolly is around in 6 months I'd be surprised.

 

[wjones]

iluvdeal, you got a point. But I think the main reason crunches and situps have been around for forever is because it is FREE

The ab wheel is OK, especially for the lower abdominals and hip flexors, but the best overall ab exercise is a weighted crunch on a Swiss Ball, IMO.

A Swiss Ball, for those not in the know, is a thick-skinned inflatable ball maybe 40&quot; in diameter. For this particular exercise, you anchor your feet and then drape your back over the ball. This gives your abs a full stretch; floor crunches in comparison only work 1/2 of the muscles' range. Then you do a slow crunch, bringing your ribcage closer to your pelvis, and stopping the upward motion when you can no longer shorten that distance. When you get strong enough, hold a weight to your chest. As with all muscle groups, progressive resistance is the key to continued improvement and muscle growth.

An even more sophisticated version is to do the positive (raising) portion of the ab crunch holding a weight to your chest, then lifting the weight above your head for the negative portion. This selectively overloads the eccentric portion, where muscles are much stronger.

Swiss Balls are pretty cheap. I picked mine up for $15 at Target (not labeled as a Swiss Ball; it may even have been from Denise Austin...).

For lower abdominals, I favor leg raises on a slantboard, hands placed just beneath the butt, with a pelvic tilt and pause when the legs are perpendicular to the floor. Most people will find this challenging enough without a slantboard, so you might give it a try.
