Ab circle pro?

Hey guys, has anyone used the ab circle pro? If so is it any good?

I've been offered one for $100

I'm doing cardio twice a week and abs 3 times week. Would be nice to do it without leaving the house and kill 2 birds with one stone.

Lol no. Maybe I look stupid on here for asking but I've never tried that kind of thing and feeling lazy after the gym and cant be bothered googling. Also I don't have room for a cross trainer in my unit.
 
Sticksie, all those machines are just marketing rubbish.

If you are asking a serious question here, then please believe that there is no easy way to work out.

You have to do the hard work. Learning to enjoy it or at least get it done properly and making time for it is the key.

I'm not sure why you would think you need some crazy machine if you've been to the gym either.

Na not trolling but no offence taken, all good.

Why exactly were they sued though? Doesn't mean it doesn't work, just means dodgy marketing. I work as a sales executive, dodgy marketing of one form or another is virtually standard on all products, quality and crap. Once you've got the gear the rest is about revenue.
 
There is no easy way to getting defined abs other than hard work and a super clean diet. All the ab machines in the world won't do jack unless you train hard.

Save you $100 and have a look through this forum, there's heaps of good exercises and diets to rip those abs into shape.

OK.

That particular machine, and all those machines, are total RUBBISH.

Of course they don't work.

they were sued because the promises they made regarding the machines were totally bogus. the machine is bogus.

The ads have been banned in NZ too but funnily enough Australia is too stupid to weed that stuff out.

i think it's because if you read the fine print it mentions a good diet , even when the writing is blury

Yeah fair enough then.



Guys I know there's no easy way to work out and I go to the gym 5 times a week 45 minutes a pop and work long hours as it is. Just looking for some way to squeeze some abs and cardio in at home. Leaves more time for life, cooking/girlfriend/reading etc.

Also I do eat pretty clean and about to get cleaner because without cardio I'm just not loosing any more body fat.

Sticksie,

if you are working abs 3 x week already, you really don't need to do more specific core work.

Work on other lifts at the gym.

with cardio, do some HIIT work.

Eat well and you will lose the body fat.

Abs made in kitchen, not on the ab circle pro :)

Go lift a barbell for an hour twice per week, will do a hell of a lot more for you than "abs and cardio".

scrap that workout entirely: your muscles don't need that much volume or recovery time to grow so early in your training. do a full body workout every other day, with lots of compound lifts, instead.

ccm is 100% right too: abs ARE made in the kitchen. scrap the ab exercises completely. deadlifts, squats, and military presses (if done standing or without back support) will all help you build a plenty strong core
