 Save your money February 20, 2008

My wife talked me into buying this. It is a sturdy piece of equipment. It may be a good alternative for individuals who can't do traditional ab exercises due to back problems, deconditioning, etc. As a person who trains with free weights 2-3 times a week I never got a burn with this piece of equipment. Personally it hurt my back as I extended beyond horizontal. I used it 5-10 ten times and now it sits in the garage. I would suggest buying a good ab workout tape/dvd if you need exercise ideas and/or motivation. I think you will get a better workout and save a chunk of money at the same time.
Not a bad gadget when the day is said and done. February 9, 2008

First off: read the directions. As other reviewers have said, use a metric wrench set and ensure the bolts are tightened. And check for and re-tighten every month.
Set-up of this gadget is a snap. I got it done in 20 minutes.
But I must say; the two elastic bars underneath seem a tad cheap and, when the time comes, I hope replacements will be available at a fair cost.
Using it is very straightforward. As a guy with back problems, and having lived through neck surgery (I'll spare the chiropractor rant), anything that tightens muscles and gets me to move, without playing with big weights is a plus. But it does have a 275 pound weight limit; of which I am astonished as, by its mere looks, it appears flimsy. (I weigh 210 right now...)
I have a bit of a belly. Using this device will merely tighten the ab muscles; the actual fat will remain until my metabolism is improved. Having used this device for a week, I can feel the "burn". But the only way to get real results is to use it 30+ minutes every other day; eventually daily. (I am rotating this with an elliptical trainer too.) But it definitely does something along the lines of WHY it's being sold, and is more than a fancy lounge chair with a funky name embroidered on the fabric.
When using this device, there was NO stress on my neck. And viewing angle to the TV was just perfect; nobody has the excuse of being a 'couch potato' anymore.
Definitely worth the try, but your mileage may vary depending on how often and how hard you use it. But it does what it claims and without the neck-wrenching agony of some of the lesser-priced gimmicks out there.

I received the Ab Lounge for Christmas and started using it immediately. At first I could only do 10 crunches twice a day until my stomach was killing me! Now, I am up to 20 crunches. I just need to take it slowly so I don't aggravate my back.
When I started using the machine on Dec. 26th I was wearing a size 16 jean with no hope of squeezing into my size 14. Well, today (January 26th) I was able to get those 14's on!! Unbelievable!! You have no idea how long it has been since I have been able to put these on. So, I am going to continue doing my crunches twice daily and will see how things progress by the end of next month.
I also want to add that for women who are trying to work that area by the belly button...this machine hits that spot dead on!! After 3 kids, I have a poochy belly, but hopefully I will finally get that taken care of.
I highly recommend this machine!!

I actually dont know if this item is good or not. My husband bought it for me as a gift and then we found out we are expecting again. My obgyn said that im not allowed to use it. So it is still sitting in the box, we made sure all the piece were there but thats about it. I cant use it till after the baby is born. But im sure my husband will try it out in the near future.

The Ab Lounge is extremely easy to use and works better than any other method I've used to firm up my abs. And it doesn't take up a lot of time either!!
