You actually make it appear really easy with your presentation however I to find this matter to be actually something that I think I would never understand. It sort of feels too complex and very vast for me. I’m having a look forward for your next put up, I’ll try to get the dangle of it!

You actually make it seem so easy together with your presentation but I find this topic to be really one thing that I feel I’d by no means understand. It seems too complex and extremely vast for me. I’m taking a look ahead in your next put up, I will attempt to get the cling of it!

I wouldn’t purchase an ab swing pro, my mother in law gave me one and I used it everyday for two or more weeks, after that I spent a week not being about to walk properly because it caused my back to be put out. I have been in so much pain. And I am so glad I didn’t actually buy it the screws come lose all the time and it is incredibly noisy.DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM IT IS A GOOD CARDIO WORKOUT BUT IT KILLS YOUR BACK.

I have to agree with Jessica.Way too much time on your hands to be able to rant back and forth. Seriously? Who cares… It may work for others and it may not.

Like mentioned before, DO NOT KNOCK something until you have tried it yourself. It’s like taking advise on how to raise a child from a person who does not have children themselves. That’s that.

Kelly Turner tells it like it is and is NOT a douche…lol

seriously… come on people.. get yourself a yoga mat, some free weights or resistance bands and learn how to do simple exercises with the correct form.
Infomercial fitness machine machines are a waste of cash.
I got a set of resistance bands that fit in my suit case (I travel a lot), are really low cost (if you avoid the name brands), and I now have a 6 pack…. I got that by simply doing normal exercises, and adding resistance for some of the moves with the resistance bands.

IMO The ab circle pro is just another product in a long line of infomercial junk, trying to sell you a fantasy easy fix while lowering your bank balance.

Kelly.. keep up the good work… nice to see some rational people out there.

Wow..I was just merely browsing this site hoping to see some testimonials on the ab pro because I’m thinking of buying one and all I see is trash talk. Am I on some kind of kid site???

The machine fails within 2 months of regular use. It wears away the circle part where the bolts are underneath. I’ve had to replace mine twice already and they both did exactly the same thing. P.S. I’m not very heavy

you know, i actually have been using this machine for a while and it hasn’t caused me any stress or pain, it’s giving me results and defined my abs way better than sit ups ever have when sued as part of a routine but, on the other hand i do have friends as well as read reviews about people who have either gotten hurt due to rusty parts in the machine or just haven’t had it work for them whatsoever personally, i think as with any excersise you get what you give

I think what happens here is that since there has been so much garbage put on to the market to do with ab flexion that yes most of it is crap. That said, I have a back problem and have for years. This machine addresses the very issues that I have with my back. It is also not that easy to get that kind of lateral flexion any other way. When I first saw this machine I thought it was the best of all the ab machines I have seen. Personally I have worked out with crunches, sit ups, leg raises and the likes for years. They all tend to aggravate my existing back condition and offer nothing for flexibility. This machine in my opinion rocks! I have to say as well, why would it bother any of you that it might actually improve your sexual prowess in doggy style? Since when is improving your sex life a bad thing? I do not work for the company at all. I will most likely buy this machine. I used it at a show in Vancouver last night and my suspicions were correct. It loosened my back nicely and had the opposite affect of what some are claiming on here. In fact I felt like there was no resistance or very low resistance on my back. I admit I didn’t do it long enough to hurt my knees. At the end of the day I am sure it is not a do all fix all machine but it certainly is not a useless piece of crap like those ab rollers and whatnot….

I think you all have way too much time on your hands to be fighting over such dume things !! who cares

Thanks, Nate! I honestly don’t care if people disagree, or else I wouldn’t’ write opinion pieces, its just the rudeness that bothers me. It blows me away that people are willing to say things over the internet they would never dream of saying to someone’s face. I always like to picture a grown man yelling at little old 22 year old me in real life- makes me laugh. If you have points to make, make ‘em, but don’t hurl insults over a piece of exercise equipment.

So true- anything worth doing is going to take work. if it were easy to get into shape, America wouldn’t be in the shape that it’s in.

Kelly-I love the way you hold it down and intellectually jab back at your hecklers! Right now you’ve got ‘em taking a knee for the standing 8 count. No doubt in my mind that they should not answer the bell for the next round but based on their verbiage they don’t posses the sense enough to quit!

I just saw an infomercial for this thing and decided to go online to look up some reviews and came across this site. Thank you much for your feed back and I couldn’t agree more about just doing it the good old fashioned way. The problem in our society is that we want the quickest and fastest results without dedicating hard work. I get like that too some times and that’s why this thing peeked my interest! I’m ex-military though and know for a fact what kind of results one can obtain by doing good old fashioned sit-ups and push-ups. The problem is that they are not quick and easy but then again neither is the work needed to become a Doctor. If it were, everyone would do it! LOL You rock!

michael- I noticed that “we” in there, so obviously you work for the company. Very professional tone to that comment with the swearing and dig at my reader base. And Im pretty sure Snuggie is one of the top selling items right now so the fact people that people are really into buying dumb products isnt much of a case. and i thought it was designed to give you best workout of your life? not spinal rehab? I’ve done spinal rehab for a broken back and the lateral flexion is the one of the motions I was told to stay away from at all costs- especailly against resistance. Plus, Im a trainer, I know that using resistance for lateral flexion is bad. and thats all you pulled from it? no defense for the fact that you charge a crap load of money for something that can be done just as well, if not better and safer, for free? no defense for the absent warning of a weight limit? no defense for the fact that is completely unnecessary and ridiculous?

You know what I love about this device? Other then a great workout it is great for doggie style.

One device for 2 different workouts! Awsum!

Kelly,

Your article couldn’t be more wrong and misleading. I suggest you get a medical degree before you start making medical claims regarding a lateral side flexion motion that is designed for a no axle load back workout. The Ab Circle was designed for post rehab after spine surgery… I own the item in case your wondering who the hell I am and how I know this… Do your research before you write misleading articles. Also, we have sold over a million units and counting so apparently not many people read your column.

The first time I saw this on tv I thought it would work but there was no way I was going to pay what they wanted for it. I wondered if there wasn’t someway to make something similar, I hit on the idea of an old swivel office chair. I knelt on the seat backwards, my hands on the desk and started swivelling side to side. Definitely felt it in my waist and sides, it doesn’t have the upwards motion of the machine but it looks a lot more comfy on the old knees. The only issue I have is what to use to chock the wheels.

Gotta love on the hate, Kelly. It makes us stronger and, at the same time, giggle a little. I mean, Darren was way out of line, but I hope it made you smile at how ridiculous the Internet can be Keep up the good work – 99.9% of us appreciate your opinions!

Is it donkeys or mules that can’t procreate? That machine looks scary to me. Good thing I probably am too large for the weight limit.

Rediculous. Thanks for the review Kelly. I know you’ve tried SO many different kinds of equipment so I always look forward to your posts- and appreciate your opinions.
