There was a time when my sister had unbelievable abs because she was
careful about what she ate, restricted her fat intake and did numerous
ab crunches daily and, though it was hard work, it was well worth the
effort. However all of this changed after she gave birth to her daughter
when she abruptly went very soft around the middle, developed prominent
love handles, and could not get rid of the flab no matter how many
diets she went on.
As if that was not bad enough she found that
she was not able to do her ab crunches anymore because she was suffering
from severe chronic back pain. She was not prepared however to live
with being out of shape and so she resolved that it was time to check
out a variety of abdominal exercise machines.
Abdominal exercise
machines are designed specifically to concentrate on the abs during a
workout and the vast majority of machines copy normal crunches although
they are far easier on your body. For example, virtually everybody does
crunches while lying flat on the floor with their hands behind their
head putting them at risk for back and neck injuries. This is not
however a risk with abdominal exercise machines since they restrict your
motion and make you maintain a good posture in order to work with the
machine. As a result abdominal exercise machines are more or less
foolproof and give the rest of the body a break while you are
concentrating on your abs.
My sister had seen many late-night TV
advertisements for abdominal exercisers but was not ready to purchase
one solely on the basis of what she had heard on TV. She had no wish to
hear what actors and professional bodybuilders were paid to say but
wanted to hear what real people had to say about these machines from
their own personal experience.
So she looked online and found a
number of consumer reviews for some of the best known abdominal
exercisers. She wanted to find out which of the machines were
well-constructed, simple to use, and actually worked on sculpting the
abs and which machines would just be a waste of her time and money.
Also, she wanted to find websites from which she could purchase the more
popular abdominal exercise machines at the lowest prices because these
machines are expensive and any discount that she could find would be
helpful.
One thing that she did say to me was that she was
pleased that she had read the online reviews as one of the machines that
she had been thinking about buying was not at all well received by
those who reviewed it. It turns out that the machine in question has a
couple of substantial problems that she would not have discovered in
advance of purchasing it. As a result she bought a machine that was
quite a way down her list of possibilities but which had nonetheless
received enthusiastic reviews.
The good news is that now that she
has purchased her machine she is able to work on her abs three or four
times each week without experiencing the back pain that she had
previously experienced without it. Most importantly, she is now
beginning to witness a reduction in her waist line and should shortly be
back in shape once more and feeling very much like her old self.
