The Ab Glider is a home fitness machine that intendeds to provide the user with muscle toning, and calorie burning exercises.  The Ab Glider works the entire core section of the body, and also provides a great cardio workout.

The machine works the lower, middle, and upper abdominal muscles, as well as the back, arms, obliques, and stabilizer muscles. Normally this type of machine would come with only one of these features however; the Ab Glider makes use of multiple types of exercises that provide both circular and crunching motion.

Other Interesting Features:

• The Ab Glider machine has a digital screen which monitors user progress  by tracking the amount of reps completed and calories burned
• Comes with Elisabeth Halledbeck’s three minute rapid results DVD and healthy eating guide. It also includes Elisabeth’s Amazing Abs DVD, which outlines step-by-step examples of different exercises to be used with the Ab glider.

Who Should Use the Ab Glider?

Anyone who wishes to work their midsection, tone up, and burn calories. The Ab Glider provides an excellent fat-burning cardio workout however; people needing to lose a lot of weight should also incorporate some other type of cardio into their workout routine, as the primary function of the Ab Glider is to tone the muscles of the midsection.

When using the Ab Glider, most users will see results after a short period of time. Some users have even reported seeing results within one week.  Keep in mind that it is necessary to incorporate healthy eating habits into your lifestyle if you wish to get the best results.

Ab Glider Disadvantages

• It is necessary to eat healthily in order to experience the intended results
• In order to get the 30-day trial the customer needs have their credit approved
• Some find the machine puts more emphasis on using the arms rather than the abs due to the handle bars being too short. However, a change of posture may help to ensure that the abs are being worked
• There is no way to adjust the  tension which could be beneficial for those who find the workout too easy
• Some people had a bad experience with the packaging as some received their machine with broken parts, but this can be fixed by calling the company
• Some people found assembly difficult while others found it very easy

Although not without disadvantages, this is usually the case with any product. It is important to mention that sometimes people don’t use the Ab Glider correctly, and simply adjusting their posture could remove their frustrations.

As with any workout equipment, it isn’t possible to get results unless the user is able to commit to doing the necessary work needed to get them.
