Ab Swing Review

Product description:
The Ab Swing is a unique exerciser that works out the entire abdominal region.  Unlike traditional crunches, the Ab Swing performs a vertical V-shaped that workout out the lower, upper and outer obliques.

Product claims:

  * Works out the entire abdominal region
  * Sculpts the abdominal muscles in 5 minutes a day

How to Use the Ab Swing
The Ab Swing has a unique approach to working out the abdominal muscles. The exerciser consist of a seat, with a handle on each side, and a bar that extends from the base of the seat to the floor. You position yourself on the ab machine by sitting on the seat, gripping the handles and placing the feet in a foot rest at the end of the bar. The exercise is executed by pulling your feet upward while your chest moves towards your knees. The movement resembles a jackknife range of motion where in some aspects you are executing a V-shaped vertical crunch.


Ab Swing Reviews

The reviews for the AbSwing are pretty mixed. While some people absolutely hated this exerciser, others have commented on how this machine delivers a good abdominal workout. One of the main issues with many of the negative reviews probably stems from users having high expectations on what they can achieve with this piece of exercise equipment.

A key problem with abdominal machines like the Ab Swing is that their marketing paints a false illusion of what these products can achieve.  Many "As Seen on TV" abdominal machines make bold claims that using the exerciser for only a few minutes a day is going to transform a flabby midsection into a chiseled physique. The truth of the matter is that no exerciser on its own is going to accomplish those types of results. The key to losing weight really is about burning more calories than you consume. It's actually more complicated than that when you factor in different body types and tricks used to keep the metabolism elevated, however for the sake of time we will fall back on the broad description (if you are interested in learning a few tricks to boost your metabolism checkout speed up your metabolism).  No exerciser, whether it be a treadmill, elliptical trainer or the Ab Swing is going to burn enough calories to transform anyone's physique with only a five minute workout per day. Also, the abdominal muscles are small muscles and working them out exclusively is not as effective at burning calories as using the larger muscles such as the legs on a treadmill.

Now just because the Ab Swing is not the end all be all miracle exerciser that will transform your body into the physique of your dreams, it does not mean that it is a bad machine. Abdominal workouts are really designed to develop the abdominal muscles. When added with a solid diet and workout program, the hard work put into the abdominal workouts really starts to pay off. The Ab Swing by design works out the entire abdominal region. Our best recommendation for the Ab Swing is to ignore the marketing hype that was produced for the infomercials. This exerciser is not going to transform a flabby midsection into a great looking six pack on its own. It's only an ab machine and should be evaluated as such. Those looking for a new way to workout the abdominal muscles may want to give the Ab Swing a try.

At this time the Ab Swing is no longer available, you may want to check eBay if you are still interested in purchasing this exerciser.  The great thing about eBay is that you should be able to pick one up at a cheap price.  One potential issue with buying a used Ab Swing is that the manual may not be available, however there are plenty of YouTube videos demonstrating how to use this machine.
