Ab Machines

The opposite sex has said, time and time again, that the sexiest part of the opposite sex’s body is the stomach muscles. This belief has caused individuals to purchase different types of ab machines and ab exercise equipment in hopes that they can transform their core muscles into an amazing flat stomach or six-pack of abs.

The question is, “How do you use ab machines and ab exercise equipment to effectively form that stomach the opposite sex is looking for?” The answer is not simple, but we have created this guide to teach you ways to achieve your goals by using different types of ab exercise equipment.

Let’s take a look at the most effective ways to use the most popular ab machines on the market:

Ab Coaster

The Ab Coaster is an exercise machine that can be purchased from an infomercial or the official website. Other manufacturers have created machines similar to the Ab Coaster and can be found in gyms and fitness centers. To put it simply, the Ab Coaster is a machine that requires you to move your body from side to side with the strength of your abdominal muscles. The motion looks effortless when watching others use the machine, but it is actually one of the more difficult ab exercises.

To build your core muscles using the Ab Coaster you will need to use the machine at least 5 days per week. The manufacturer of the machine claims that you can achieve your goals by only using the machine for 3 minutes per day. While this may be true in some cases, most people will need to use the Ab Coaster for longer than three minutes. Start using the machine by trying to do two sets of twenty repetitions. If you can’t complete twenty reps without maintaining the correct form then you need to decrease the numbers of reps per set.

Ab Rocket

The Ab Rocket is advertised as an exercise machine, accompanied by a diet and exercise plan, that will enable you to “blast the fat” off of your body. This ab machine is designed to act as a chair that allows you perform a sit up, or crunch, motion. This motion is what targets the core muscles and produces the ideal stomach muscles. The machine allows you to choose the resistance level. To experience effective results, when using the Ab Rocket, you must do three sets of 30 sit-up motions per day. This routine needs to be done five days a week. While this machine is capable of producing ripped abs, it must be combined with a low-calorie diet and cardiovascular exercises.

Ab Circle Pro

The Ab Circle Pro is most likely one of the most effective ab machines on the market today. Not only does the machine work to transform your stomach muscles into ripped abs, but it works your love handle region, hips, thighs and butt region as well. Because this exercise machine targets different muscle groups, it makes it a popular choice among people trying to lose weight and tone their bodies.

This ab exercise machine is similar to the Ab Coaster regarding the motion it requires your body to make. With this being said, you will need to do the following routine in order to experience desired results when using this machine:

Attempt two set of twenty repetitions when using the machine for the first time. Be sure that you can complete all of these repetitions with correct form. Increase the number of repetitions every two to three days. You can always add a third set to your routine if you feel the need.

Best Ab Exercises

The ab machines mentioned above can be very effective in toning the stomach and building ripped abs. Although these machines are highly recommended, they can be a bit high in price because of the results they guarantee. Most of these ab machines offer 30-day money back guarantees but be sure to read the small print.

There alternative exercises you can do if you want to build your abs without purchasing any ab exercise equipment. These exercises either require little equipment or no equipment to execute. These exercises can give you the same results you would experience if using any of the ab exercise equipment mentioned above.

Corkscrew

This exercise focuses on the oblique and lower abdominal muscles. This exercise will not only help you form the stomach you have always wanted, but will also tone the love handle region. Follow these steps to do this exercise correctly:

1. Lie on the floor and raise your legs in the air so that they make a 90 degree angle with your upper body.
2. Place your hands so that your arms run parallel with your body.
3. Life your hips off of the floor and rotate the hips in one direction.
4. Return to the resting position.
5. Lift your hips up off of the floor once again and rotate them in the opposite position.
6. Do three sets of ten repetitions each.

Cable Crunch (Kneeling)

This exercise will require you to have a pulley system with a cable attached. This can usually be found in any gym or fitness center. This exercise works all of the core muscles. Follow these steps to effectively do this exercise:

1. Place both of your knees on the ground in a kneeling position. You should be facing the pulley system.
2. Grab the rope that is attached to the top cable.
3. Using your core, bend your upper body towards the ground. This should be difficult to do when holding on to the weight of the cable.
4. Pause for two seconds and then allow your body to come back up to the starting position.
5. The next time you move your upper body towards the ground move it towards on knee. This will ensure that all muscles are being worked.
6. Alternating sides, do three sets of twenty crunches.
