We’ve seen the ad for the ab circle pro on tv a few hundred times and each time we discussed whether it would be any good for us. We both have bad backs – Bill more so than me – so doing sit ups and crunches is too painful of an option so we needed to find something that would still work but be a little more kinder on our backs.
I’m participating in a 12 week weight loss challenge at We Are Slimming at the moment and I thought I’d make use of the ab circle pro as part of my daily routine instead of the many weight loss products I’ve bought and found were a waste of money!
It was easy to set up…even I could do it! You know how when they say “only 3 minutes a day!”? Well I was a bit sceptical and didn’t think that that was going to be enough but let me tell you…3 minutes on that machine and you get off it feeling like you’ve just done 100 crunches!
I like that I’m off the ground and I can watch tv while I’m doing it – makes the time go quicker. And it’s actually more fun! Much more fun that trying to do sit ups!
I’ve noted down my waist measurements when I started the challenge and will be measuring again at the end of the challenge so I’ll share with you how much this machine actually helps me.
I think the only complaint I’d have about this machine is that it’s a bit hard on the knees but adding a folded washcloth to each makes it a little more cushier and more comfortable.
As for Bill – he’s also been using it every day and is happy that he’s found a way to help him strengthen his core up without hurting his back too much.
So far, I’m liking it!
