The Hype:

The Ab Circle Pro claims that using it will burn fat whilst trimming and toning your abs, buns, hips and thighs, with results guaranteed.  You get the machine itself, a nutritional guide and instructional DVD lasting three minutes; there are optional extras, including a calorie-counter. The Ab Circle Pro boasts different levels of resistance to cater for all fitness levels, and it sells itself as a treadmill for your abs, combining the fat-burning benefits of cardio work with specific toning of the stomach and waist areas.

The Ab Circle Pro costs around $200 and there is a shipping and handling charge of $34.95 (Steep!).  The company also offer a $14.95 30 day trial offer and a guarantee that you can send it back if you don’t get results.

So what are users really saying about the Ab Circle Pro?  Read on and find out!

Pros:

People saw visible results within a month, with waistlines shrinking and buns and thighs feeling more toned.  Shoulders and arms were also worked, due to the positioning on the machine, and several users also commented that their backs felt stronger.

The Ab Circle Pro was easy to set up and store, and didn’t take up a lot of room.

Cons:

Customer service left a lot to be desired for many clients, and sending it back and getting a refund took some effort!

A number of users stated that the pads made their knees sore, but admitted that wearing kneepads solved this problem.

There were grumbles about the build quality of the machine, with the paint starting to come off with constant heavy use. The rollers also squeaked, but an application of oil helped.

To Buy or Not to Buy?

The general consensus seems to be that the Ab Circle Pro is a useful addition to any weight loss programme when combined with a reduced calorie diet and other types of exercise.  It will add a bit of variety to your workouts, but used on its own is not enough and it looks like the machine will not stand up to constant heavy use! It has to be said that the ad does recommend you do other kinds of exercise as well and use the Ab Circle Pro for 3 minutes a day.

Just when you thought it was safe to come out the Ab Circle Pro spawns a smaller sibling  called aptly enough The Ab Circle Mini. At half the size and weight of it’s bigger brother the sales blurb claims it’ll give the same fantastic results.

As an additional bonus it’s also cheaper coming in at $139 compared to $200 for The Ab Circle Pro. Still fairly expensive but lets face it $139 doesn’t buy you very much these days.

Although it’s early days the number of consumer complaints do seen to be less for this piece of equipment compared to the pro version.

Many people complained of the poor build quality of the original and of the sometimes appalling customer service they received if they tried to return the product during the 30 day trial.

I’m pleased to say that the sales literature now recommends only 5 mins per day use and for best results should be used in conjunction with a healthy diet and other forms of exercise.

I’ve always maintained this machine should be used as an addition to your existing workout not your compete workout.

Always check with your health professional before using the either the Ab Circle Pro or The Ab Circle Mini particularly if you have knee, back or any other medical condition.

Once more consumer reviews are available and I’ll update this post but feel free to comment below in the mean time.

The Ab Circle Mini Reviews – Mini By Name – Mini By Nature? is a post from: As Seen On TV Fitness Reviews

If you want to keep fit at home, having a handy piece of home fitness kit like the Ab Circle Pro can be a big help to you as it folds up for easy storage and can quickly be set up whenever you have time to use it.  This will give you a useful amount of exercise to add to your other kinds of workout while eating a healthy diet.

To get fit and stay fit no matter how old you are involves several components as you must do regular and different types of exercise, hard enough to make you sweat.  A home exercise machine that will help with your fitness goals is the Cardio Twister but you must also eat properly and make sure you’re sleeping well.

It is not enough to exercise once a week and have a salad on Tuesdays, and then eat junk food and lounge on the couch for the rest of the week as you almost certainly will not lose weight or improve your fitness in this way!  Fitness gains and weight loss go hand-in-hand with one another, and if you do one without the other, all your efforts will end in failure.

Drastically reducing your food intake while not exercising is like a broken pencil.  Pointless.  True, the weight according to the scales will go down, but you will not be losing fat only muscle, you will feel hungry and grumpy and weight will soon pile back on again.

The best method of losing fat while giving your muscles a nice shape is to work out at an intensity that is just slightly uncomfortable for half an hour every other day, and to carry on with this on a permanent basis so that it becomes part of your life.

Either the Cardio Twister or Ab Circle Pro would be of great assistance to you in helping you to get fitter and start shedding those excess pounds.  Neither needs a large amount of floorspace, are always ready to use and work out much cheaper in the long run than a gym membership.

The Ab Circle Pro is fun and easy to use; you kneel on the padded kneepads and swing your hips from side to side around the glide track.  By a single simple adjustment you can change the Ab Circle Pro to work the inner and outer thighs, hips and buns, and the upper body positioning means that your shoulders and arms will also become strengthened and toned.

Alternative to an Ab Circle Pro as a piece of home equipment is the Cardio Twister which is currently very popular and consists of a step which also works your legs and thighs laterally with an upright and handlebars attached.  As you step, the adjustable-height handlebars move from side to side, thus working all your abdominal and core muscles for great calorie burning and a neat waistline.
