Does anyone have a Ab Rocket??
I was wondering if anyone here has a ab rocket and if it is worth the money for one. I carry most of my weight in my midsection and I am hoping to reduce it....the ab rocket "looks" good...but does it work??? Thanks for any replys.

Vivian,
You don't need expensive equipment to strengthen your abdominal muscles. Here's a study that identifies the best exercises for the mid section.

Thanks so much Cassie. I value everyone's opinion and as we all know. We go out and buy exercise machines and NEVER use them. LOL I will check out the exercises you sent me and then get my butt to the gym. I know what I have to do to get that midsection off. Thanks for your answer.

You can't target fat loss. You can target muscle strengthening, but it won't necessarily effect where the fat melts away.
I wouldn't buy the ab rocket, as mentioned, there are plenty of non equipment exercises to do.

If the goal is to spot reduce fat, than it is a waste of money. That said, there is a benefit to having a strong core, and building strength in the abs is critical.Anything that lets you workout more isn't a bad thing in my mind. I kind of enjoy the crazy ab machines at my gym (though I have no illusions of every getting a visible six-pack - though I can feel them underneath all that skin :) )
I agree with Andrew. I use the ab machines at the Y. Not sure they do any good, and I by no means have a 6 pack, 2 pack, or really any kind of pack. Well, I take that back, my lower ab area looks like a pack of jello...but that's for the plastics board.
Strong core is key for all activities, and to stave off osteoperosis as well.

P.S. you share a name with my mom, but my grandma used the masculine spelling ... strong and kind name ;o)
