Best Core Ab Exercise

The Ab Circle Pro is one of those pieces of As Seen On TV Exercise Equipment which deserves a closer look. I know these ab machines always seem to good to be true but the Ab Circle Pro shows some promise.

For most of us an ab workout is one of the most painful and tedious workouts we can do and frankly they often yield little to no results. Sure, after doing our best lower ab workout we feel a burn but are any of us really thinking we’re gonna look any better?

I’m always for taking the easy way out when it comes to working out and when I’m in the gym I look for ab machines that look easy to use and the Ab Circle Pro is one of them. And yes my gym has one laying around. I noticed the odd looking contraption one day but was very intimidated because event though it looked easy, I thought I might look pretty silly using this this as opposed to other ab machines. But, once I saw the Ab Circle Pro, and I began to see it everywhere on Late Night tv infomercials, I tried it.

At first I thought it was laughable because there was a seriously hot fitness model named Jennifer Nicole Lee telling me that it was a great upper ab workout and probably the best lower ab workout but I just figured she had the perfect body naturally. It was then I found out she lost over 70lbs and pretty much blames it all on the Ab Circle Pro. She uses it in her gym and I continued to use it mine,

Here’s why the Ab Circle Pro Is so easy. Once you jump on this weird looking ab machine gravity takes over. The motion of the Ab Circle Pro uses gravity to easily allow us to move about and target the core ab muscles without much effort at all. Hence, the easy ab workout.

At first I thought it was absolute bunk, but if you simulate the twisting motion of the Ab Circle Pro sitting on your knees, you will notice a couple of things. First, you will feel the isolation in your upper abs, and lower abs, proving that this motion will target the core ab muscles. Next you will notice that this feeling is very different from any of the other ab machines you may have tried in the past.

It is an easy ab workout, it really does only take about 5 minutes and it iseasy very portable. (and very silly looking) I do want to make it clear that I didn’t buy ab circle pro because there’s still one at my gym. But I really am thinking about it. And, I’m still qualified to do an Ab Circle Pro Review because of this fact. I mean, I really do use it now. I’m no longer intimidated by its weird shape and I’m over the fact that I look completely idiotic on it.

One reason I want to buy one is the cool thing Jennifer Nicole Lee shows us in the above video. She says she likes to warm up doing a push up motion. Now for most of us push ups are more than a warm up. They count as a real exercise! But most ab machines are just that, and rarely allow us to work other parts of our bodies. So being able to do push ups at home on a machine which provides an increased range of “push up” motion is noteworthy. I bought the Perfect Push Ups for the extra range of motion, but Ab Circle Pro has that built in.

Further, I love doing the exact same back stretches seen in the video, in they are much easier on the Ab Circle Pro than on the the floor. The incline of your body provides a bit of a deeper stretch. I also want to point out that I enjoy the fact that I’m no longer on the floor during my abdominal workouts and I’m no longer on my back. Couple this with the reverse grip to burn up the arms and the removable pin to transform the Ab Circle Pro into a thigh blaster and I’m sold.

And lastly is what I really like is the free trial.  The problem I have with review sites is you never know how genuine they are.  Heck, even with Amazon you did not even need to buy a product and you can leave a review for it.  That is why I always look for free trials.  They let us try the product out for ourselves.  Before I buy something I want to know if it is going to work for ME!
