Ab Rocket Abdominal Trainer

The spring tension is ineffective if you're on the heavier side (180+). At even the highest spring tension the back support just falls flat when I lean my back on the same. End of the day Iam forced to revert to the old manner of pulling myself up for each crunch.

Might work better for folks with a lower body weight.

Assembly is easy and takes barely 5-10 mins.

I was skeptical about this product initially,but had to try it.And guess what? I was pleasantly suprised,it actually works quite well!

Within the first few days of use both brackets that hold the securing bar cracked. I was able to repair the cracks with Gorilla Glue. Overall, I am very happy with the Ab Rocket. It makes doing sit-ups very easy.

I ordered the Ab Rocket about 6 or 7 weeks ago. It arrived quickly and was easy to put together. This device is good in assisting with sit-ups and leg lifts. I am very pleased with my purchase and I am still using it. I have lost 10 pounds in the last 6 weeks and no doubt the Ab Rocket is part of the reason, but I am also using the "Thigh Master" and hand weights, and doing my best to eat healthier. Another good thing is it does not take up a lot of space.
If you already have strong stomach muscles and can do sit-ups without assistance I would see no reason to get this, but if you have allowed yourself to get out of shape like me, it is helpful.
It is advertised that the rollers feel like a massage on your back and that the device will support your neck. For me, it does not feel like a massage (though it does provide support while still strengthening your stomach and lower back), and it does not provide neck support like I was hoping. I still recommend the product to the out of shape individual with weak stomach and back muscles.

If you want to do sit-ups (crunches) and not struggle doing them, this is the product for you. It's easy to set up and takes just a few minutes before you are ready to go. Don't expect strong resistance even with the hardest level. But, once you get used to it, this is a wonderful product. You can click off sit-ups effortlessly anytime of day. I would recommend the Ab Rocket to anyone who wants to do sit ups and not strain themselves while doing it. This is especially important as you get older. Eric
