Introduction
The Ab Circle Pro claims to be a device that can give you a full core body workout in a way that is as ingenious as it is fun. While that is certainly an interesting assetion, it remains to be seen whether this claim can actually hold water. The Ab Circle Pro has a lot to love about it, but at the end of the day there are still some questions about it too.
The Basic Claim - Core Muscle Workout The Ab Circle Pro performs an exercise that is done in a circular fashion as seen by many on TV infomercials. Using the Ab Circle Pro machine, you essentially do a workout that involves you twisting your body from side to side in an effort to put pressure on different muscles, stretch your midsection out and tone the area of your body from your chest down to your hips. In the process, the Ab Circle Pro makes the claim that you can not only tone your central abdominal muscles , but that you can also tone your love handles, your buttocks and your upper legs. This is the area of the body that we call your core muscles. They also claim that you can get secondary benefits to areas around those muscles such as your hips and your chest.

Features of the Ab Circle ProBefore we delve deeper into examining the different claims made by this product, it is necessary first to establish that this product is actually worth purchasing from the craftsmanship point of view. If the product is a complete dud after all, there’s really no point in discussing whether it works because you’re not going to purchase it anyway.
As far as the actual product quality is concerned however, the Ab Circle Pro is relatively decent. The steel that is used in its construction is high quality and would rival some of the machines you have in your local gym. It is also highly functional and able to be folded and stored quite easily. You can adjust the settings depending on the level of difficulty that you want as well, making it a product that you can learn to use better and better as time goes on. So in an overall sense, the product is worth purchasing based on quality. This makes your decision tougher because it means you need to evaluate whether the Ab Circle Pro can improve your fitness level,help you burn calories, and get a nice toned body.
Evaluating the Ab Circle ProThere are many ways that the Ab Circle Pro can be evaluated. One can take a look at the scientific community to see what they say about the product. One can also take a look at the internet community to gather colloquial evidence and of course one can take their own common sense in order to make a judgment on this particular product. For the purposes of this particular review, we decided to do all three of those things.
When we did that, what we found was an overall rating for the Ab Circle Pro that was really nothing special. This is not surprising, since most of the effective apparatuses online operate in the exact same way. While none of them are absolute knockout blows when it comes to the fitness of the average person, it is necessary to have multiple options available. Different people will have different personal preferences. This also means that they will respond differently to different types of exercise. What the Ab Circle Pro does is introduce a new way of doing an old exercise and for some people that may very well be what is needed in order to kick start their fitness efforts.
Pros of the Ab Circle ProThe first good thing to keep in mind about the Ab Circle Pro is that it is thoroughly unique. The exercises that you will be doing on this particular machine might work the same areas of the body as other abdominal machines, but you’ll certainly be working them in a completely different way. This has the ability to shake things up, something that more than one person has credited for finally being able to snap out of their funk and start exercising more as time went on.
Another great thing about the Ab Circle Pro is that it actually has the ability to get you off the floor. In fact, when you are doing the exercises on the Ab Circle Pro, you are not on the floor at all. You are on a raised surface doing the side-to-side motions on the machine. Since you’re in the air, the experience is even more different. You can easily get a huge kick out of doing the Ab Circle Pro workout, something that’ll have you coming back for more and getting into great shape as a result.
Cons of the Ab Circle ProThe main con of the Ab Circle Pro machine is the main strength, its uniqueness. Even though it is thoroughly unique, there are going to be some people that will not benefit from this machine at all. Some people love trying new things out and others do not. If you are the type of person that generally likes predictability and order in all things, the Ab Circle Pro is not the answer for you getting into shape.
The equipment for the Ab Circle Pro can also be somewhat difficult to use. Even though the learning curve is relatively small and once you get the hang of it you’ll use it automatically, that initial curve of actually learning the process is somewhat difficult to do. For someone with low initiative already, it could easily be the factor that results in them going back to the couch and giving up on exercise once again.
Final Thoughts on the Ab Circle ProThe Ab Circle Pro is not something revolutionary or even particularly ground-breaking, but it is special in its own way. The raised swinging exercise that is promoted by the Ab Circle Pro can certainly work if done properly and regularly. However, that is also true for most of the other exercises out there. For this reason, it is really a matter of discovering whether the Ab Circle Pro fits with your exercise personality and then making your decision based on that answer.

I agree with the above comment that the ab-circle pro is nothing special. I've been doing professional workouts for the two years as a student and have achieved all desired results and duplicated them amongst my friends. When evaluating the ab-circle pro i see many cons in there advertisement about the "warm up time" to get you into your "peak burning condition". I completely agree that the excercise has the ability to provide a new method for excercising, However due to the circular motion and the incline of the device it is very easy for inexperienced users to push themselves along with there arms instead of abs completely making the excercise pointless. The boasted "3 minutes" also seems unrealistic in providing the completely ripped bodies presented by "past users". All in all i would say this product is good for those who suffer to find the fun in working out in all forms, as it provides a new outlet for them to do so. Also despite the ease at which you can fault the excercises, it still has the capacity to burn high amounts of carbohydrates if not toning the abdominal region. If you are searching for a product that is fun, easy to store and readily available then this product may be the addition you need, however for the harder-core gym stars keep with your gym workouts. Very little else will duplicate your results. |
