Ab Equipment....



Recommended Posts

My head is spinning right now. I was so dead set on getting an Ab Circle Pro machine...until I read a bazillion reviews on it (mostly bad about the machine being of poor quality). Then I started looking at additional options (Ab Coaster, Ab Flyer....)

While I plan on doing my regular cardio (I do a two-mile power walk every day with additional moves ala Leslie Sansone), I wanted to get opinions as to what is out there that will help me work on my "pooch". It is definitely my problem area :frown:.

Thanks for any opinions, testimonials, and suggestions!!

I have an Ab Rocket. I bought it off of eBay brand new for about 80 bucks shipped. It is pretty good. I still have my "pooch" though, but it has gone down some, however. Belly fat is tough for a lot of people to get rid of.

I am a craigslist junkie and I have seen these on there, maybe you can get one really cheap.

I hate to tell on myself, but there is a product called the abdolly that actually works if you use it, which I haven't lately. It is $100. www.abdolly.com

I need to start using it again because it helped the arms and the midriff too.

find a version of the ab ripper x video of p90x and use that. In all reality the best piece of equipment for your abs, is the ground. I do ab ripper x and yoga belly 7 of the p90x video's 4 days a week and it makes a huge difference. Just my .02

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
