Flex Master Ab Rocket Attachment Review

Average Reviews:

AB ROCKET WON'T HONOR THIS PRODUCT IF YOU PURCHASE IT FROM AMAZON.COM!!! The item broke less than 3 months after purchase and AB rocket won't honor the 3 year warranty that it says it comes with. Ab Rocket customer service is the WORST customer service I've ever dealt with. They don't speak English, they are RUDE and they won't hardly speak with you unless you give them your Credit Card Number First!

Health (Sports) Rider Review

Health (Sports) Rider

(More customer reviews)
The Healthrider uses your own weight, with a smooth forward and back motion similar to rowing, but with more flexibility about hand and foot placement. Unlike rowing, there is resistance throughout the stroke. I purchased my original Healthrider in 1995 too. I've used it extensively over the years and can vouch that it's well built - tough as nails - and very effective. Like the ROM (Range of Motion) machine it simultaneously works most of your body, and can provide a stretch at the same time you work. The handle bars allow a biceps curl, a shoulder shrug, and a chest pull. You can also work the legs exclusively by moving the handle and the arms exclusively by using alternate foot pedals, but it's best just using all your body at once.
The main strengths are: 1) rapid warm up. You get cardio, stretch, resistance training in just a few minutes. 2) Full body involvment - arms, chest, and leg involvment all at the same time. You'll activate most major muscle groups. 3) Good benefit in short time duration. 5 minutes gets a workout you'll feel and will give you some real benefit.
The main drawbacks are: 1) not good for real cardio workout. The resistance training aspect means it's tough to do for more than 10 minutes. Your heart will benefit from a longer cardio workout. 2) Resistance is light weight with many reps - good for cutting - but not good for building muscle mass or power. 3) tough to get an intensive workout.
The Healthrider has emerged, over my years of experience with it, as a great niche player. It's a fantastic warmup before weights - perhaps the best machine out there for this purpose. It's also a great machine to get close to a total body workout when you only have a few minutes for a workout. 5 minutes before the morning shower will definitely be worth your time. It's not a replacement for real cardio or real weight training however. Those who try to use it as such may be disappointed.

Total Gym 1700 Club Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
A 44-year-old woman that doesn't enjoy exercise writes this review. I spent many years as an overworked hospital administrator that did not take the time to keep myself in top physical condition. I purchased this product after realizing that that it was used in the rehabilitation gyms in the hospital where I worked. The Physical Therapists not only used this equipment for their patients, but also worked out on the equipment themselves at lunchtime and after work. You can get a great workout on this piece of equipment. Both my husband and myself use this piece of equipment.
Pros:
1.Well made piece of equipment, smooth movement during exercise
2.Can be used by both males and females
3.Weight limit of 350 pounds
4.Ability to add 75 pounds of additional weight to the bar for added resistance
5.Challenges muscles, young and old (you will know that you have exercised the next day)
6.Allows you to move quickly and easily through different exercises
7.Excellent Pilates reformer stand in
8.Easy to collapse to storage
9.Folds into a reasonably small size for storage (will slide under a bed or into a closet)
Cons:
1.It is a little heavy if you plan to move it very far. Mine is now permanently set up to encourage exercise.
2.Purchase an additional Pilates reformer exercise routine (check Amazon for options) if that is your primary reason for this purchase.
If you are seriously considering this piece of equipment I would recommend finding a friend with one and working out on it a few times before making the decision to buy this. My husband and I have discussed upgrading to the next model up (about twice the price) when this one bites the bullet. Overall we are very happy with this purchase and would recommend this product, or the more expensive models.

Want to tone your entire body without buying a complete home gym? Check out the Total Gym 1700 Club, which helps you strengthen and sculpt every major muscle group in your body using a single glide board and a few handy attachments. The Total Gym 1700 Club works by making you lift a percentage of your body weight against gravity, making the resistance smooth and fluid. As your strength and conditioning improves, you increase the total resistance by boosting the incline, thus increasing the body weight lifted in the exercise. The Total Gym 1700 Club thus not only works your upper body, but also your lower body, abdominals, and even your cardiovascular system. And by reducing body fat and increasing the proportion of lean muscle mass in your body, the strength training effectively turns up the thermostat so that your body burns calories constantly.
The Total Gym 1700 Club also offers several handy attachments that add a new dimension to your workout: a Pilates bar that helps you improve your range of motion and balance; a weight bar that lets you add up to 75 pounds of additional free weights to intensify your workouts (weights sold separately); dip bars and press-up bars; and an exercise mat to help protect your floor. All it takes to get in great shape is 15 to 20 minutes per day, three to four times a week.
Key Features:
Pilates Bar to add a new dimension to your workout by helping you improve your range of motion and balance
Dip Bars and Press Up Bars add exercise versatility
Exercise mat protects your floor
A larger glideboard for workout comfort
Wider tower for added stability
Auto-lock height adjustment
Exercise flip chart for easy reference while exercising

Sunpentown Giddyup Core Exerciser Review

Sunpentown Giddyup Core Exerciser
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've only gotten this recently and cannot give a very thorough review yet, but since there are so few I thought it might be useful to say what I could. I got this because I have problems with lumbar stenosis and my doctor says I need to strengthen my core muscles. Riding is very good for core development, but the jarring is hard on the spine and of course there are some dangers. This machine provides exercise that seems pretty much like riding but without the jarring and without the danger -- albeit with less fun. I got the two-motor version that does a rocking motion and/or figure-eight motion, separately or in combination. The range of adjustmnent in speed seems adequate. There is also a simple program mode that I have not yet tried. There seems little doubt that I am getting core development from using it and have not experienced any pain. I feel pretty sure that aerobic benefit is very slgight at best. If you want more exercise for your laterals, they suggest sitting with both legs off one side so it rocks you side to side. The big question for me is where to put my feet when riding astride. They suggest holding them clear of the floor with knees bent, which is pretty tiring. Resting them on the floor (which is feasible as long as you are not especially short-legged) somewhat defeats the purpose of the exercise. There is no place to attach stirrup leathers. I am thinking I will connect a pair of stirrup leathers (the narrow English style) end-to-end and hang them across the saddle at the front, with a stirrup iron on each side.

Sunpentown International introduces the revolutionary exercise equipment - the Giddyup!� Core Exerciser. This equipment simulates the actions of horseback riding with its single motions: a horizontal 8 motion. As the equipment goes through its motions, the rider is constantly thrown off-balance. This requires the rider�s muscles to involuntarily contract and relax in an attempt to re-balance and stay upright. This reflex action, known as counter-balance exercise, reaches the deep postural muscles of the pelvis and muscles of the thighs, quadriceps, hamstrings and glutei. The most appealing aspect of this Counter-Balance motion is that the user is exercising without really doing anything, as there is no exertion from the user.

Panasonic EU6441A Core Muscle Trainer Review

Panasonic EU6441A Core Muscle Trainer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Upon first sight I had to laugh. When I pulled the core trainer out of the box my kids exclaimed, "Dad got a pony!" I had not heard much about core training other than from books like the "Abs Diet" which encouraged strengthening your core muscles along with dieting. To say the least I did not know such a machine existed.

As odd as the core trainer may seem the concept is simple; exercise the rider's core by constantly moving their lower body in different directions while the rider limits their own upper torso movements. The motion is very similar to horseback riding (at least the side-to-side motion).
The first thing I noticed when I unpacked the core trainer is how sturdy this thing is. Weighing around 80 lbs. I could see the core trainer was sturdy to hold me no problem (I am around 6'0 tall 210 lbs.). The weight of the core trainer may be something to consider if you need portability in your exercise equipment. While I can lift it by myself, I would not want to be moving it very often.
Sitting on the core trainer is comfortable. The seat reminds me of a large motorcycle seat and was always comfortable during the exercise. The core trainer has a handle on the front to allow first time users to hold on to something while getting use to the motion.
Each workout lasts for 15 mins. This is a preset duration that you cannot override. I found that after a few days of using the core trainer I wanted to do 2 x 15 min workouts. The parameters you can control are; the speed of the workout, the tilt of the machine (the pony), and the actual routine (side-to-side, forward tilt [Waist], and Backward Tilt [Hips] ).
With the core trainer you get a DVD that shows some exercise routines and also the basic posture while riding. I highly recommend viewing that. The exercise routines are interesting. I can see where making certain arm movements twists your torso into positions that simulate crunches and other high impact stomach exercises. My concern is the risk of injury. If you have any issues with your back I would not recommend doing any of the twisting exercises. An issue I have with the DVD is the menu selection. Whenever I insert the DVD I have to go through the annoying intro, I wish I could just jump directly to the menu.
So after a month of using the core trainer I have noticed my stomach area feels tighter. It feels as though I have done an average stomach routine. I have never noticed anything in my waist or hips. My inner thighs seem to be the muscles that get the most strain (from gripping the saddle). The workouts are never high impact. In fact, they seem about as low impact as you can get. All you really need to do is sit on this machine and keep your balance. I am optimistic that after using the core trainer for a few more months I will notice more improvements.
If you are someone who needs high impact exercises this may not be for you. However, if you enjoy low impact, and you are willing to stick with this machine for several months I believe it will pay off.

The Panasonic EU6441A Core Muscle Trainer uses Counter-Balance exercise technology to build strength, flexibility, and overall fitness. This no-impact strength training solution targets thigh, back, abdominal, and other core muscles for a serious workout. With pre-programmed settings, variable tilt and speed, and a compact, stylish design, this core trainer is a perfect fit for home use or fitness facilities.
How Counter-Balance Technology Works The core muscle trainer features a compact, stylish saddle design and innovative Counter-Balance technology. It builds strength by continuously moving you away from your center of balance and forcing you to use core and thigh muscles to re-balance. The resistance of your body weight gives you an effective workout each time. Some of the advantages of this approach include minimal joint impact, low aerobic impact, and low heart-rate increase.
Beginning a core strengthening program is incredibly easy. You simply sit and ride for 15 minutes, which is automatically timed. This makes the core trainer accessible to seniors and others with exercise limitations. The core trainer is designed to accommodate a maximum user weight of 265 pounds.
Build Muscle Strength and Boost Your Metabolism Three program modes -- forward, backward, and level tilt -- let you choose whether you want to work all core muscle groups equally or focus on strengthening certain muscles. Depending on the mode you choose, the core trainer effectively works the back, abdominals, obliques, quadriceps, gluteus maximus and thighs.
Combined with nine levels, these modes offer serious flexibility for customizing workouts. This makes the core trainer a perfect choice for both serious athletes with specialized needs and people with exercise limitations. It also offers excellent options for people who have difficulty tolerating stress on joints, need to keep their heart-rate below a target level, or have limited aerobic capacity.
In addition to the metabolic increase you experience during exercise, preliminary data shows that core muscle building boosts your resting metabolism, helping you burn calories.
Create Your Own Balanced Workout Since most aerobic equipment doesn't focus on core strength, using the core trainer in conjunction with working out on the treadmill, bike, or elliptical is a great way to achieve a balanced workout. If you want to get a complete workout in on one machine, you can pick between adding light arm weights, aerobic upper-body moves, and new positions for a customized core trainer workout offering both cardio and strength benefits.
Compared with most other exercise equipment, the core trainer is compact, stylish, and quiet. It fits comfortably in any room, so you can talk, watch TV, or read a book while getting in a great workout. In addition its built-in wheels make it easy to move and store when not in use.
The Panasonic EU6441A Core Muscle Trainer measures 29.5 x 16.5 x 34.3 inches (HxWxD) and weighs 82 pounds. What's in the Box Core Trainer, mat, two footrests, and two footrest brackets.

Average Reviews:

I bought this system to help recover after a serious accident left me with decreased strength and range of motion in my arms. It does that and much more.
One thing that sold me on the unit was its size. Be sure to check the room you want to put it in, because it is tall. Other than that, it's compact and stays out of the way. It's easy to move the weights so that more than one person can use them or for different focus.
This is a great system for me. I'm very happy with it.

Designed for home use, the Precor S3.23 Functional Trainer and Bench Combo is great for people of all sizes and fitness levels. A dual stack gym offering a true isolateral workout in a compact footprint, the S3.23 Functional Trainer helps you build total body strength through unlimited exercise options. You'll benefit from building a strong core, and developing improved balance, increased stability and coordination, for improved daily life activities.
Functional Training Many of the activities we do in life are performed across multiple planes of movement. Functional Training embraces that fact and allows strength training to be more applicable to the everyday movements of the human body as well as sports specific training. In addition to building strength, significant improvements in balance and coordination are principle benefits of the unrestricted motion of functional training.
Because the body's core muscles are the foundation for all movement, core stability training is essential to daily living and injury prevention. Functional Training engages more than one muscle, and often more than one joint, teaching them all to work together and work equally. Stabilizers and core muscles are recruited to build true overall strength.
Features:
Compact footprint fits into your home. With its space efficient design and subtle color palette the S3.23 complements your home decor and suits your lifestyle.
Wide range-of-motion for a flexible workout. High-mass/low-travel weight stack increases the cable range-of-motion, allowing you greater flexibility in your workout.
User-friendly adjustments vary your workout. The unique pulley system with one-handed ergonomic handle easily adjusts to over thirty starting positions, allowing unlimited exercises to keep routines fresh.
Dual independent weight stacks engage your muscles. Rather than working on just one or two planes of your body, the dual independent weight stacks allow you to engage more than one muscle and often more than one joint for isolateral resistance training.
Adjustable bench. The bench has six adjustment positions to focus your workouts and easily wheels in and out of the functional trainer.
Fully concealed weight stacks to conceal moving parts.
Integrated top bar allows for back, abdominal workouts and chin-ups.
Adjustable accessory straps: Accessories included are (1) foot/ankle strap, (2) D-ring handgrips, which accommodate all user sizes and a variety of exercises.
Instructional DVD provides you a personal training program for a total body workout and sports specific exercises.
Stack weight: The S3.23 stack has a 1:2 ratio resistance factor, meaning you feel a functional resistance weight of half of the selected weight. The actual single stack weight is 150 pounds (68 kg), which is 75 pounds (34 kg) functional resistance. The actual combined stack weight (2 stacks total) is 300 pounds (136 kg) total, which is 150 pounds (68 kg) functional resistance.
Top plate: Cast aluminum top plate has starting weight of 10 lbs (4.5 kg) with a functional weight of 5 lbs (2 kg).
Construction: Nylon/fiberglass pulleys for added durability; ABEC rated ball bearings for added durability and smooth feel.

Specifications:
Width: 4 feet, 5 inches
Depth: 3 feet, 2 inches
Height: 6 feet, 11 inches

OSIM iGallop Core and Abs Exerciser Review

OSIM iGallop Core and Abs Exerciser
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Fellow horseback riders, you'll want to own this fun machine!! After reading the reviews here on Amazon, I went to Brookstone to try one of these before buying. Not only did I come home with one, but so did my riding buddy. (They were on sale at considerably less than half the retail price of $600.)
It has 3 speeds of the same side-to-side/circular motion, plus a 4th setting that randomly goes through the 3 speeds. In all cases, the motion approximates the 4-beat, lateral gait of a horse who's walking or racking.
Speed One is like riding a large horse who has a very clunky walk. Speed Two speeds up and smooths out a bit. It's like riding a gaited horse who's not smooth enough to want to buy. Speed Three speeds up again and smooths out even more. Fold your arms and hold them up in front of your chest, keep your shoulders steady, absorb the motion in your hips, and you'll feel like you're racking down the road on a decent horse at a good clip.
I've had all sorts of exercise machines over the years, but nothing has ever been as fun as this. It seems effortless to ride, and yet, both my riding buddy and I were surprised (and delighted) to feel some stiffness in all sorts of muscles. It's also strengthening my back which was injured in a horse wreck years ago.
The DVD that comes with it shows many additional exercises that you can do while balancing on this thing (if you're young and agile!), but I'm just having fun horsebackin' in front of the TV!
UPDATE: I've had my iGallop more than 3 months now and I still love it. I ride a minimum of 30 minutes every day, and an hour whenever possible (this is easy to time as the machine automatically runs for only 15 minutes - to continue, just hit the start button again). I've lost more than 5 pounds and an inch from my waist and hips. I credit this largely to the iGallop since I haven't changed anything else in my diet or exercise program.
2nd UPDATE ALMOST A YEAR LATER: I still love this machine, but am now on my second one thanks to my having purchased an extended warranty (doubling the original 12 months to 24). Six weeks shy of my one-year purchase date, my iGallop suddenly made noise, smelled of smoldering plastic and flopped loosely (and, no, I'm petite, so my weight didn't wreck it [grin]). I took it to Brookstone and they were wonderful about replacing it on the spot, leaving me with 13 months to go on the same warranty should I need yet another replacement(s). Soooo, moral of the story is; if you're offered an extended warranty, you may want to consider it.

Ab Rocket Abdominal Trainer with Flex Master Attachment Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm a 47 year old male in pretty good physical condition. I exercise on a regular basis with weights, cardio etc. I purchased the Ab Rocket a few months ago and used it on a consistent basis. About three weeks into using the Ab Rocket I had to stop all of my exercise routines because of a neck/back injury. At the time I didn't correlate the injury to the Ab Rocket. Once the injury healed I started my normal exercise routines back up but didn't include the Ab Rocket and everything was fine for the last 6-8 weeks. Last week I again incorporated the Ab Rocket into my work out schedule and now have the same neck/back pain I had prior. The tell-tale sign for me was when my wife started to us the Ab Rocket and within a week was complaining of neck/back pain. At that point I knew this was related to the Ab Rocket exercise equipment. I would be cautious of this device. It's unfortunate because the device really does hit the abs and does give you a good ab work out with noticable results. But I have to stop using it.

Offering a revolutionary way to work your lower abs, upper abs, middle abs, and even your sides, the Ab Rocket will give you the body you've always wanted.

The Ab Rocket, which folds away for easy storage, weighs only 10 pounds.

Offering resistance strength training, challenging cardio routines, and effective ways to heighten metabolism, the Flex Master is a great aid in strengthening and toning upper and lower body, hips, buns and thighs, arms, and chest. Just 5 minutes a day is all you need to build the body you've always wanted.

NORDIC TRACK ULTIMATE TONING WHEEL Review

NORDIC TRACK ULTIMATE TONING WHEEL
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I do a variety of aerobic and anaerobic exercise to supplement my interval training. The Nordic Track Toning Wheel is just the latest gadget I've incorporated into my regime.
There's a plethora of ab exercise equipment out there, all vying for your attention and competing for a market share in this niche industry. Most of them promise to help "target" and "burn" fat around your belly. Know what? "Targeting" specific areas to eliminate excess fat is a myth. Yes, you heard right. To take it to an extreme: How would you like to have ripped, washboard abs while retaining your flabby arms, saddlebag thighs, and double chin? It just isn't going to happen! Ab machines will help you firm and tone your abdominal muscles under the subcutaneous fat, but it won't help you "target" the fat. I'm disgusted by how fitness companies are perpetuating this myth by their deceptive advertising. Among the worst offenders are the Ab Rocket, Ab Supreme, Body by Jake Ab Scissor, Ab-DoER, Ab Laser, or, God forbid, AB Sonic.
The only proven effective way to lose fat is aerobic exercise. No, I don't mean aerobics, although it IS a _form_ of aerobic exercise. Aerobic exercises are exercises that raise your heart rate to your target heart rate for sustained periods. Your target heart rate depends on your age, among other factors. Interval Training comes to mind as an effective form of aerobic exercise, although it's also a form of ANaerobic exercise (a discussion of anaerobic exercise is beyond the scope of this review). There is growing consensus that interval training is the most effective way for shedding excess fat, belly fat included.
With all that said, no, the Nordic Track Toning Wheel isn't going to help you lose unwanted belly fat per se; it will, however, help you tone and firm those abdominal muscles. And it is equally effective, if not more so, than those fancy and expensive ab machines - at a price that's easy to stomach. This workout packs more of a punch than you might think. After just a few reps you'll start to feel it working (or feel the "burn", if you will). You can do them in sets if you wish.
Assembly: The package comes with 2 wheels, a shaft, and two handles. Assembly is VERY straightforward: thread the wheels through the shaft and affix the handles to the ends of the shaft. Make sure the handles are pushed in all the way.
Construction: The wheel components are well-made and certainly feel very durable. The grips are rubberized and feel very comfortable. The shaft is metal and the wheels are plastic with textured rubber over the rim for traction. The rubberized parts actually look and feel plasticky. The fully assembled wheel is extremely sturdy.
Function: The rolling action of the wheels is very smooth. I should mention that the product does not come with any instructions on how to use the wheel, but no matter, you can make use of youtube as a learning resource. Simply use the search terms "ab wheel" to perform a search at the youtube site and you will get pages upon pages of videos that show you the proper technique for using the ab wheel. I strongly recommend that you start off with your knees on the floor as shown in the picture on the product page.
The Nordic Track Ultimate Toning Wheel is a real good value for your money. I got mine through the Nordic Track site for less, plus, there's free shipping ;). Give this wheel a whirl, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
