Ab Rocket Abdominal Trainer Reviews

Weider Crunch Trainer
Ab Rocket Abdominal Trainer Reviews

 

By John Davenport

Many exercise machines are heavily advertised on TV, but none appear to dominate our screen as the Ab Rocket Abdominal Trainer does.

What is this abs machine? How does it work and what is it supposed to do for you?
The infomercial for the AbRocket is clear that this exercise machine will help you to lose belly fat, tone your abs, slim up your waist, and give you the kind of abs that you've always longed for. This is shown through the use of several men and women with great looking stomachs which swear by the AbRocket.

The Ab Rocket is an abdominal trainer which is supposed to make it easier to do ab crunches by giving you support for your neck and back. The back cushions are also supposed to give you a massage as you workout, making it more enjoyable.

Does the Ab Rocket really work?
This is something which is not certain. If you look around the internet, you will find some positive reviews but also many negative testimonials. From these testimonials by people who've used the AbRocket, it is clear that there are some common issues surrounding it:
1. The cushions don't really give such a good massage - Frankly, I couldn't care less about the massage myself. It's vastly more important whether this exercise machine really does work.

2. The 3 levels or resistance aren't good enough for fit people. This is something that I've read a few times. The Ab Rocket may be good for beginners but not for advanced people.
3. The Abs Rocket, like many other machines aren't suitable for people of all sizes. If you're short or tall, you may find this machine uncomfortable.

In my mind, you need to ask yourself whether having this abs exerciser in your home will get you to do more abs workouts. If so, then, by all means, get it. However, I believe that it will not be enough to get the perfect stomach. You need a much more comprehensive training and nutritional system to achieve that.

Why is Hula Hoops ?












By Matt Stupar
Hula hooping is something that I avoided for the majority of my life. It didn't make sense to me as an adult, because it didn't make sense to me as a child. What could I possibly do with a small plastic ring that refused to stay on my body, no matter how hard I willed it?

With some slight modifications, it turns out that I can do a lot. Hula hooping has changed over the years. It's not a craze, nor a fad. In fact, it doesn't really have a definite identity. These days, hoops are bigger, heavier and usually covered in decorative tape. While the tape helps to stick to your clothing, the heavier material and larger diameter make it easier to keep the hoop in motion. With this greater ease of use, the hoop can provide an outlet for a wide range of people.

Hoops are used for fitness, artistic expression, meditation, relaxation and many stages in between. There is no one "type" of person that hula hoops. Practitioners range from young children to working professionals, ravers and hippies, teenagers and students of many disciplines. With so many different faces and so many different vocations representing the hoop, one might wonder why it is able to connect with such an array of people.

The answer seems to lie in the simplicity of the hoop. Because it is a simple shape, it is not prone to specificity. No one needs a degree to understand it and there isn't a 12 page manual or extra parts required.

If you want to work your core muscles, then the hula hoop is for you.
If you want to dance and play, then the hula hoop is for you.
If you want to create a space for reflection and mindfulness, you've got a friend in the hoop.
It can be a solo or social activity. The hoop oozes nostalgia, while offering something new and fresh. In its simplicity, it allows the user to put all or none of their imagination into it. Whether in a public space, or taking a class, hooping can be a tremendous social outlet for people looking for a fun activity to share with someone else.

Friendships are made through hooping, because you can't help but laugh at yourself when you first try it. Even though it is a simple object, the movements that you can create and discover can be anything but simple. Hooping challenges the mind and body, inspires the creative imagination and offers hours of enjoyment for anyone that is willing to give it a try.

With so many benefits, the real question is, "Why aren't you hooping yet?"
