Do Not Buy the Ab Circle Pro
Once in a blue moon, a piece of fitness equipment comes along that is so lame that I actually smack my forehead while watching the infomercial.
I can’t believe that anyone would be so gullible to actually believe the marketing hype.
But, the commercial doesn’t go away….people are actually buying this thing.
So, today…we’re going to discuss the Ab Circle Pro.
Well, actually, we’re going to watch a video of Little Miss Consumer Reports laying the smack down on the Ab Circle Pro
Too damn funny.
I particularly enjoyed her skewering of the ACP’s ”friction free track”
Correct me if I am wrong, but without friction, there is no workout.
I also enjoyed how she pointed out the “Just 3 mins a day” claim was a bunch of B.S.
And the part about a low cal diet and regular exercise being part of the Ab Circle Pro program.
Too damn funny.
.
But seriously, if you know anyone gullible enough to buy the ACP, please send them a link to this post.

Well said Adorei, the ACP is the only exercise that has EVER removed my love handles.
I love mine and use it in my exercise regime every day.

Didn’t even see what this was when I channel hopped as ad appeared, just the way it was presented was enough to make it look bad: let alone the quick-fix claims and gimmiky area its designed for! This one had cr@p written all over it!

Great post. It’s quite clear that the faster you go on this machine, the more momentum you build. This momentum is what actually makes you move from side to side, so I believe, and not your abs.
For anyone who’s interested, check out this rather scathing review of the Ab Circle Pro: http://burnmybellyfat.com/ab-circle-pro-review.html
It supports practically everything you say.

Nothing is friction free, but there is a work out from this in that is uses gravity not friction for the resistance. I still would not buy one.

Awesome! Yeah, I hate the commercials! And who is that annoying lady who promotes it on HSN? OMG! I even hopped on one the other day at a local department store since they had a display out. I have no idea how anyone could do that thing for longer than 30 seconds. It’s just not right.

My problem with this and many other ab workout machines is that they are unhealthy from a biomechanical standpoint. Many of these exercises put tremendous amounts of stress and compression on the low back – enough to cause serious injury. It’s too much to explain here but if you’re so inclined, look into the research conducted by Dr. Stuart McGill at the University of Waterloo (he’s a world renowned expert in spine biomechanics). I’ve also summarized much of his work here in a few easy to read posts on exercise and back pain: http://chiropractorguelph.com/2010/10/04/low-back-pain-prevention-2/
