What's the BEST AB WORKOUT EQUIPMENT??

snakesdctrss Posts: 4 Joined: 2003/07/30	2003/07/30, 09:12 AM I've tried the ab doer xtreme, that thing does NOT work! I am very upset that I paid $130 for it. It's crap! ... I'm tired of doing sit ups and crunches and that's why I have decided to use ab equipments. Do any of ya'll know any good ab workout equipment that REALLY works?

I want to try something else. kirby, you know where I can get one of those bars I can hang from? ravenwolf, what effective workout equipment did you see on info-commercial?
kirby00 Posts: 238 Joined: 2002/11/05	2003/08/01, 12:38 PM there's lots of different types of ab exercises - why not check the exercise directory here and exhaust some of the equipment free options first? or, if you belong to a gym, go to an aerobics-type class. lots of times they'll do an ab workout after the aerobics part... as for the bar, check a sporting goods store. i think you can get some that fit in a door frame. or just go to a park with a jungle gym. -kirby

The best way to get strong abs is through resistance training. -------------- - Its never about how much you can lift, or how many reps you do. Its just about doing it, and doing it right. - If your hungry all the time, your not eating enough. And anyways, being hungry sucks. ~Brad~
