Fitness Product Review: I Love My Ab-Lounge!

I had always wanted a Ab-Lounge. Yep, the ones you see advertised on TV ,on those late-night infomercials designed to make the sleep-deprived order anything. But, never really having an extra hundred or so laying around to purchase one, I admired them from afar for years. Then, a stroke of luck occurred. As I was driving through my neighborhood one night, garbage night to be exact, I noticed a lady hauling a genuine, fully-assembled, perfectly clean and usable Ab-Lounge out to her garbage. I braked immediately and jumped from my car before someone else noticed this wonderful find.

Seems she had purchased it months beforehand, and she admitted she barely used it. Actually, she said, she used it more for just throwing clean clothes onto than for exercising. She had no idea whether it actually yielded any results or not. She let me take it from her hands, for free, and excited, I strapped it into the hatch(luckily I had enough space!) and set off for home.

When I jumped on it, I couldn't believe how easy it seemed. Simply lay back in the soft chair, put your feet on the feet rests, and your arms over your head. Grab the soft strap attached to the top of the Ab-Lounge, and gently pull. You do a crunch while you're in the chair, using the strap for only a small amount of leverage to pull yourself up. Using your stomach muscles is the most important thing, here, but the Ab-Lounge gives you that little bit of extra help. It keeps your back and neck from straining, which happens to me if I try to attempt a "real" crunch. Which ends up making me quit after 5 failed attempts. The Ab-Lounge eliminated this problem so effectively! I managed around 100 crunches that night.

The next day was the day I was REALLY impressed, though. Boy, did I ache! My ab muscles felt like they were stretched and pulled, yet it was a good pain, a pain that meant I had used the machine just as its intended. It may have felt easy as I was doing it, but in reality the Ab-Lounge wasn't doing the work, like it felt like. I was.

I have been using my Ab-Lounge for about 6 weeks now. I have lost a couple of inches and certainly toned up. I will continue using my Ab-Lounge until I get down to the size I want, which I easily see happening. I would recommend this machine in a heartbeat to anyone who wants to purchase one. If I had known years ago how well it worked, I would have found the money to buy it directly!
