    I have always thought those things were a gimmick. I just don't believe that machine can actually give you abs. If it were that easy, a lot more people would have abs.

    Ab Circle Pro

    What's the science say?

    The extreme rotation from the Ab Circle Pro may put dangerous torque on your spine, and its effectiveness as a cardio workout is questionable, Peterson says.

    Gym Alternative

    Kettlebell swings combine cardio and resistance training, which allows you to safely lose weight and build core muscles, says Mike Robertson, C.S.C.S.

    Stolen from Men's Health...again.

    I'd have to agree. I'd go with the gym alternative. Save your $$! :)

    Don't buy that crap!
    Come on girl!
    If you need something to hang your cloths on they now sell drying racks!
    LOL!
  • If your goal is to lose belly fat, then save your money. If your goal is to strengthen stomach muscles, there are better, cheaper alternatives. There are a lot of "motion toys" masquerading as exercise equipment.

    Here's a good article recently posted that may help too:

  • I have an ab circle and I worked out on that thing all the time and guess what?...nothing, no results. Well besides for a very sore back!! It does nothing you can't get sitting on your couch!! SAVE YOUR MONEY!!
