Equipment Reveiw: Ab doer

This peice of crap is the worst development in the fitness industry since the invention of chocolate. I used this thing for ten whole minutes knowing within the first ten seconds what was going to happen. I promise that you will get a better burn stretching your abs than useing this garbageheap.

What it does is (using all the resistance of a strechy hairband) it allows you to turn to one side or the other or bend down and return to the sitting up position. The machine assists you back to the start position. You actually get a better burn doing the same movments without it! It cannot fit under your bed or in your closet. In fact consider yourself lucky if you can get rid of it with a "free" sign on your front lawn. In general even the most unatletic person can tell immediately that this thing does nothing for you. But when one store clerck told me I had to feel it to beleive its results I went nuts on it for ten minutes and not only did I not break a sweat or go out of breath but my stomache felt compleately unactivated. I showed the clerk how to do a crunch and she said it was too hard.

I suppose as long as there are folks with this weak attititude watching late night TV there will be a back ally fitness company to tailor to them.

I give this hunk of junk one ninjaface out of five

Why a whole point? Because when fitness equipment is retired you hang clothes off of it. This one looks like it was made just for this closet function holding more clothes neatly than most retired junk equipment. It certainly holds clothes better than it builds muscle.



here is what it looks like
 
You, man, you're great.
 
I can confirm that the Ab Doer is a complete piece of crap. My fiance had one, and despite all of my ranting she insisted on carrying it along to our current apartment and let me tell you, Ninjaface is 100% right, the ONLY function this thing has is to sit in the corner and collect my semi-dirty laundry at the end of the evening (you know, those jeans that I'll wear again 4 more times before I wash, or the shirt I threw on for dinner but took off after I got home, etc.)

After 6 months this thing had collected so much damn laundry that you couldn't even see it anymore. Finally, thank everything that is holy, her parents had a garage sale and we got rid of the thing for a whopping 2 dollars... and let me tell you, I can guarantee that's exactly 2 dollars more than it's worth. I pity the poor soul who lugged this piece of crap home with them... I mean seriously, they'd be so much better off purchasing a clothing rack or something. If they had only asked I would have probably paid them instead to lug this disgusting mount of scrap metal away.

Save yourself the money, the hassle, and the embarrassment of having this thing in your home and DO NOT under any circumstances purchase one of these.
