Gym Machines For Abs
Posted By admin on December 8, 2010
Once the decision is made to get fit and target belly fat, many of us go down to the local gym, whether it’s a large commercial gym with all the bells and whistles, or a small mom and pop shop, to sign up. But once you get there you’re confronted with lots of fitness machines, not to mention free weights and a whole host of fitness and ab toning adjuncts to get abs flat, like medicine balls, balance balls, and resistance bands.
It can feel a bit like the first day of school, and there’s definitely a learning curve when getting to know all these machines. Many readers ask about gym machines for abs because they want and need to get rid of their big belly while others want 6 pack abs. While some gym machines for abs are clearly marked as being used to tone the core, like the Ab Crunch Machine, another ab machine, like the Cable Crossover Machine, can be used to tone other areas too.
The Ab Crunch Machine lets you do a weighted seated crunch that targets the upper and middle abs; on the other hand, the Cable Crossover Machine can be used to work the rectus abdominis and the oblique muscles by doing a weighted kneeling crunch. That said, training stations are among the most popular gym machines for abs because they let you target certain areas to get a totally flat stomach. For instance, the Captain’s Chair works the lower abs by having you simply do hanging leg lifts. The Roman Chair can be used to work a variety of muscles in the body, but when it comes to core training, it’s especially effective at working the stabilizer muscles in the back, which tighten the core. You can watch videos of all of these ab flex machines being used on sites, like YouTube, but fitness sites frequently offer step by step instructions as well.
That said, once you get to the gym you may see some members doing a cardio workout while wearing what looks like a workout ab belt. In many cases they are wearing The Flex Belt, one of the most popular core training devices currently on the market. You will understand its popularity once we tell you that its developer designed it to work the core muscles using EMS technology, which means that users don’t have to do any actual exercises or use gym machines for abs to get results, the EMS impulses do all the work for you.

gym machines for abs are nothing if you don’t have some good tunes in your ipod!!!! The better the music, the greatest the ab workout will be!
Hmmm I think Malibu Pilates sounds like a great machine for abs, and you dont have to be at the gym to use it! PLUS, it’ll get you a sexy butt and it don’t get much better than that!
I thkn that an abs belt for at homeis a MUCH better approach to flat abs than all those crazy gym machines, I wnat to look good for sure but I don’t want to have to sweat my brains out to do it.
gym machines for abs are good btu i would rather try an aEMS ab belt with the technology so I dont have to do sit ups or be at the gym for much longer than i need to.
ab circle pro isn’t really anything like gym machines for abs in my opinion. I think i am gonna give pilates a shot, those machines are just to hardcore for me.
MUSIC MOS DEF HELPS WITH EXERCISE!
Can’t wait to try my new Pilates dvd, it’s Denise Austin and she’s so beautiful I want to look just like her and you KNOW she doesn’t use gym machines for abs, so why should I?
today I am reading reviews to see about new ab belts and decide which i can use. I would love to have a great new body for this summer and I think an ab belt is definitely the way to go.
If they have the Ab Rocket at gyms then it must be good, but is it differnt than the ones’ you can get for at home?
Well that max turbo u are talking about looks like it could be heavy, i can’t really see myslef wearing something that big and use the treadmill at the gym.
