| | | Product Description | Plenty of people want washboard abs, but not everyone wants to do the crunches required to trim the flab. Enter the Ab Circle Pro, a fast and easy way to give your body the sexy V shape you've always wanted.
A 3-minute workout on the Ab Circle Pro is equivalent to more than 100 sit-ups. |
Made with gym-quality steel built to last a lifetime, the Ab Circle Pro gets you off the ground and targets your entire core, from one side to the other and from front to back. As you pivot your lower body on the Ab Circle Pro's unique friction-free track, you'll boost your cardio rate while also challenging your upper, middle, and lower abs at the same time. The exercise even targets your obliques in the same simple, fun, fat-burning motion. It's like a treadmill for your abs, but much more efficient. The Ab Circle Pro offers three resistance levels, making it appropriate for both beginners and more advanced users. In addition, it takes only a few minutes per day to get a complete ab workout, as three minutes on the device is the equivalent of more than 100 sit-ups. And not only does the Ab Circle Pro help you lose your love handles, but it also helps trim and tone your buns, hips, and thighs. The Ab Circle Pro--which folds up for easy storage under the bed or in the closet--comes with a 3-Minute Express Workout DVD and a Lose Your Love Handles nutritional guide. | Product Details | - Fast and easy ab workout device made of gym-quality steel

I ordered the Ab Circle Pro on 7/17/2010 and thought it would take forever to get here, well, I was wrong. It seemed to arrive in days. I then carefully opened the box with at least the same amount of care the seller had taken to package it all so beautifully together. Every piece was covered, included, and I have to say I cannot imagine buying one that was more brand new than this one, not a dent, not a scratch, nothing, it was in absolutely perfect condition. I was and still am totally thrilled with this purchase and hope the seller knows how much the care he/she takes in sending these items means to the buyer. It does not go unnoticed I assure you. I feel as though I made the deal of a lifetime and could not be more happy with the way this entire transaction transpired. Thank you so much and I will definitely spread the word and be doing business with you again, it was a pleasure. Sincerely, Anna Diliberti |
Muscle Madness | | Review Date: August 18, 2010 | | Reviewer: kiding, | | Great machine, works on muscles I hardly use. Just watch the knee bowls if the scews got loose. I have to do more work on it to see any significant results in weight loss. I just purchased it 3 weeks ago and love it. |
The updated version of Ab Circle Pro is worth it! | | Review Date: August 2, 2010 | | Reviewer: Work at Home Chick, | I am one of those who purchased an Ab Circle pro about this time last year. At the time, I was working to slim down from a size 14 to a size 10 in order to fit my recently purchased wedding dress. Here are a few other things you should know before reading my full review:
* I work from home, so I have more free time for a longer workout than many individuals
* I worked on the machine for about 15 min. total per day (3 intervals of 5 straight min. each at a moderate pace)
* I combined my Ab Circle workout with Slim Fast & extra protein and plenty of water
* I weighed myself on the same day at the same time each week for 4 weeks
* I gave myself a bedtime curfew in order to get plenty of rest
* I didn't skip breakfast
Now, my first experience with the Ab Circle Pro was both good and bad. I noticed that when I paired my workout with 3 moderately paced songs that are about 5 min. each (Coldplay, for those who are wondering), practiced yoga breathing as I worked and relied on my core to move instead of my arms or knees, I got a good core workout. I sweated and really felt it in my abs and obliques. I learned that rather than using my arms to pull me from side to side, I got a better workout in my core. I also learned that pacing myself instead of letting momentum take over gave better results.
However, I did have the same issues with the knee pads as everyone else has posted. They weren't made of the best material and cracked within a few weeks. All in all, though, that was my biggest complaint. They were a little uncomfortable but that was it.
We have since purchased another Ab Circle Pro (about June of 2010), and I have nothing but high marks for the machine now. To start, we purchased from Bed, Bath & Beyond and used a 20% off coupon, so it was much cheaper than the $299 I paid last year. Next, they have changed the knee cups. They are now made of a more solid plastic, but come with neoprene knee pads that are textured on the bottom (so they don't slip around) and absorb sweat. They are much more comfortable than the older version.
I've been using the newer Ab Circle Pro for about a week now (combined with Wii Fit Yoga and aerobics and a very strict diet that includes between 80 and 90 oz. of water per day), and I work out every day. I couldn't be happier with the results! I'm already losing according to my daily body tests on the Wii Fit, and I have lost a few inches from my waist.
I know others have had problems with the Ab Circle Pro, but my feeling is that when you truly follow the directions, use it as it should be used, combine it with strength training and stretches and a low calorie diet (I eat about 1050 calories per day and burn between 110 and 120 per day), you get the results. I don't necessarily buy into only working out for 3 min. a day (it takes a min. of 18 min. to get into your target zone for cardio and then you have to work through that to really burn calories). But when you make the effort to work out between 30 min. and an hour total per day and eat right, you get results.
Is it the end-all machine for the perfect body? Not by itself, but when combined with strength training to build lean muscle, plenty of water and rest and a good diet, it works wonders! |
Excellent equipment | | Review Date: August 11, 2010 | | Reviewer: J. Willett, Murrieta, CA | | I love using this equipment! I read most of the reviews on this item before I purchased it and was a little worried about some of the complaints but thought I would try it anyway because I was impressed with the way it works. I weigh 145 lbs. and was wondering if maybe some of the bad reviews could have been from people who weighed quite a bit more. I have only had it for one week and absolutely love it. I do not see any wear on the roller wheels that other people have been complaining about but if they do eventually become worn, I would really like to be able to purchase replacements. I made a call to customer service just to see what kind of response I would get because a lot of reviews said that they experienced bad customer service, but I was able to get right through to a person and let them know that I was very happy with my Ab Circle Pro. This is a fun piece of equipment and I would recommend it to everyone unless maybe they weigh more than 200 lbs. |
