Ab Lounge Review.

The Ab Lounge is a unique piece of exercise equipment designed to target the upper and lower abdominal muscle groups. It is made from high quality materials and yet easy to store thanks to the folding design of the frame. The lounge chair shape supports your body in all the right places to keep your neck and back from being strained.

When most people think about abdominal workout they always mention them thing; crunches. This is because that is what has been used by trainers all over the world as the primary way to build strength and to tone the muscle in your waist. Unfortunately, many people end up having give up well before they see any kind of results. This is due to the pain that is normally associated with the performance of your typical ab crunches.

The Ab Lounge – Easy to Use Ab Machine.

Exercise equipment manufacturers started creating machines that could simulate the crunch movement without causing the user excruciating pain. The Ab Lounge is just one example of the many pieces of exercise equipment that simulated the crunch. By using this machine you will soon have your own set of six-pack abs.

The unique design of the Ab Lounge chair provides a great ab workout for men as well as for women. The unique motion of the lounge delivers more of a full range of motion for your upper and lower portion of the abdominal muscle region. The motion called jack knife, is far more effective in targeting the entire abdominal region as compared  to the simple crunch.

What makes the Ab Lounge unique?

The shape and material used in making the Ab Lounger is very unique, from the rolled steel frame to the nylon fabric stretched across the frame to form the seat. The nylon fabric allows for flexibility and comfort and is by far better on your body than your standard lying ab crunch.

The Ab Lounge’s puts your body into a much more comfortable position and your hands grasp the strap above your head instead of being placed behind your neck. The jack knife or rocking motion causes your abdominal muscles to contract over a longer range of motion. At the same time it targets both the upper and lower regions of thew abdominal muscles.

 

The Ab Lounge System comes in several different models with each one offering extra features.

Ab Lounge – The original ab machine delivers a complete abdominal workout

Ab Lounge Sport – Includes the Ab Lounge and adds a sport computer to track your progress

Ab Lounge 2 – Features updates with the seat material and construction.

Ab Lounge XL – Features an all mesh seat material, which is more breathable than the original blue nylon

Pros of Ab Lounge :

● Unique design reduces stress/strain on the neck and back
● Sturdy all steel frame
● Folds down for convenient storage
● Comfortable nylon seating material
● Breathable mesh material on the XL model

Cons of Ab Longe:

What are consumers saying about it?

We discovered many consumer reviews posted online for the Ab Lounge and the other models discussed in this article. The ratings given my the majority of the reviewers were mostly four and five stars of out a possible five stars. Not all of the ratings were positive, some of the people that left reviews gave it one or two stars.

The unique design and material makes this exercise machine comfortable and easy to get a great abdominal workout according several of the reviewers.

I can say that the Ab Lounger is a very quality machine after using it myself for several months years ago. I am about to pull it back out of storage so my sons can get some use out of it.

The training DVD that comes with Ab Lounger is a definite plus according to one of the reviewers. Following the video was what they needed to use it properly to give them a very positive result.

A couple of reviewers were not as thrilled with their purchase as they used it according to the recommendation and got zero results even after several weeks of use.

In the end, the majority of the reviewers got positive results from using  the Ab Lounge and  they would recommend it.
