Ab Rocket Abdominal Trainer

Haven't tried the product yet but wanted to clarify price for prior commentor. Need to read the fine print. On the tv commercial, it's $15 for free trial. Actual price is 3 payments of $39.95 (i.e. more than Amazon price)

This product really works. My sister first got it and when I saw how easy and well it worked I had to get on for myself. You could even watch t.v while doing it. It really is just rocking back and forth, and all you are using is your stomach. Assembly was a little hard, you have to put some muscle in to it, but that is pretty much it. This really works, and coming from a person who use to work out the old fashion way, this is much more effective and if your back hurts with this, it's only because of the tightening of the muscles around your abs. Get this product and enjoy!!!.

I just received the Ab Rocket and it is the greatest! I've read all the reviews when deciding to buy and I COMPLETELY disagree with the following comments (carpet stains, noise, made of plastic, not enough resistance) - those are all lies!!!

I'm not kidding. It makes NO NOISE, it is made of metal which is welded (and I weld and so I know what a good weld looks like), it doesn't stain carpets and it has plenty of resistance.

Many people who complain about the resistance don't understand that the resistance is there to help you out and not do the work for you. Imagine how much of an ab workout you would get if you sat in the front seat of your car and hit the button to make your car seat go into its upright position???? And this is the type of support people are expecting!! You would never work your abs that way. The resistance is there to assist you - not do the work for you!!! You have to use your abs for this to work.

The great thing is that instead of using 1/2 your muscles to support your back and neck and the other 1/2 to work your abs - you are using 90% of your muscles to work your abs. You will feel the burn immediately. I just did 10 "crunches" on the Ab Rocket and still feel the burn 20 minutes later.

Do your abs a favor and try it out now that you know what it is REALLY all about. Oh, and the Ab Rocket has an adjustable headrest that fits any size person (my wife uses it lower and I use it on the higher level) - and it is simple to adjust.

I also got the Flexmaster with mine which is also great - each resistance band has fully adjustable resistance.

The purchase of this item was easy and shipping fast. I was under the impression that it was easier on the back, which it definitely isn't. So beware if your back isn't the greatest.

All right... I bought the AB ROCKET. Mine is not made out of plastic? I saw other people say it wasn't sturdy? Mine is made of metal and has some "Heft" to it. It's sturdy and solid... Anyway

I can't believe it will show results with only a 5 minute a day workout. I was able to put it together (and for me that's a miracle in itself). I watched the DVD and did the beginners exercise. I did feel the burn. The rollers are pointless. I was too concerned about breathing at the right time and making sure my head did not leave the headrest (I kept lifting my head) that I did not even notice/enjoy the free back rub. I think the more I use it and get used to the exercise routines, it'll get better. I was really impressed with the way my stomach felt just after the first five minutes. You can't use your hands to pull yourself up (no matter how tempting it is). If you listen to the girl on the DVD, you will be told how to sit and that you can't take your head off of the heardrest. That way you are using your abdomen to sit up and no other muscle groups. I didn't even want to see what the intermediate and advanced exercises were like (the beginners session was enough). I wouldn't recommend this product to someone over 6 feet tall and overweight. It's probably geared more towards people who just need something to motivate them to get toned. I can feel the burn, but if it actually will pay off in a year, ???? If you are already in shape and want to stay toned, it's wonderful. If you have a little tummy, like me, it may provide results (with a reasonable diet). I doubt this would work for anything more "serious". I don't regret buying it, as long as it shows results in time.
