If you lived closer you could have my mothers. She bought it and no one uses it. She doesn't like it at all, but she does like her Total Gym and Gazelle.

My sister in law bought an ab lounger and liked it at first, but stopped using it because she wasnt seeing results.

Save your money and buy a $25 exercise/medicine ball instead. You can do some amazing ab work on it, and pretty easily without straining your neck and back. You can also do full body workouts on it. My trainer has taught me all kinds of cool exercises you can do using the ball - it's so worth it!

I am a member of many fitness boards and I am getting certified soon in Group Fitness. I know a lot of people who buy it and then it ends up as a clothes hanger.

If you do buy one, get it off of ebay or Craigslist. Yes, exercise ball workouts are good for the abs, Pilates, yoga, and specialty ab workouts on video or DVD, but that would depend on your fitness level and preferences. There is Quickfix Abs, The Firm ab workouts, and many, many others.

I was just coming to post this! The exercise ball is great for your abs because you can roll back on it and get a bigger range of motion. Plus you can do tons of other exercises, it doubles as a chair when you DIS, and you can't use it as a laundry rack because the clothes will roll off! That's a bargain at any price.

save your money....eat less and exercise.....brisk walking is very good.

If you read the fine print on all the infomercials trying to sell you work-out equipment, you usually find the following statements:

Results not typical
results achieved with our DIET PLAN and exercise

I also like how they all use what appears to be professional dancers as the equipment demonstrators.....you don't get a body like that by doing 20 minutes of boogie bootie pilates crunches ab-flex the bean a day....

Save your money. The biggest factor in having good abs is low body fat from a good diet and consistent exercise. Plus, there are a million effective ways to work your abs without any expensive equipment.

My hubby bought one several months ago and uses it every single day. It REALLY works those abs!
