The Ab Lounge is one of the most wildly popular exercise machines currently on the market. It has garnered so much attention because it has made working the abdominal muscles a lot easier than performing hundreds of sit ups. You can get tighter abs after only a few weeks of exercising with the Ab Lounge.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Purchase the Ab Lounge directly from Fitness Quest, the makers of the machine. They offer several payment options, including the opportunity to make three small payments to pay for the machine.

  2. Step 2

    Watch the Ab Blasting DVD. This gives you workout tips that you can use while exercising on the Ab Lounge.

  3. Step 3

    Place your hands on the padded grips found on the Ab Lounge. You use these grips to perform the basic jack knife move to work your abs.

  4. Step 4

    Use the foot pedals for the full range jack knife move. You can adjust the pedals to give you a beginner or more advanced abdominal workout.

  5. Step 5

    Exercise on the Ab Lounge for at least 15 to 30 minutes a day. Although there are claims that you can get results in less time, this length is sure to provide your abs with a workout.

  6. Step 6

    Return the Ab Lounge to Fitness Quest if you are unhappy with the results from the machine. They offer a full refund if the system is sent back within 90 days.

Tips & Warnings
  • Using the Ab Lounge can help you avoid putting unnecessary strain on your back and neck muscles. If you suffer from muscle aches, talk to your doctor before using the Ab Lounge.
  • To feel more of a burn while using the Ab Lounge, try to do the jack knifes slowly.

on 12/3/2008 For an very overweight person like myself, the ab lounger can be effective and motivating but it isn't the end-all-cure-all. This machine made it easier for me to work on a very weak area without straining my back or neck. I have reached a plateau of effectiveness, however, I am more physically capable and excited to tackle new exercises and techniques. It has given me more of a waist at a larger weight than I might have seen in any other form of exercise, which allowed me to stay focused and keep at it.

I recommend the ab lounger if you can get it 2nd hand or from a friend. Get your start and pass it on, so that someone else can get there foot on the path to a healthier lifestyle.
