abrocketFlat abs in only 5 minutes a day?  Boy I sure am glad it’s that easy, well as most “As Seen on TV”, this “revolutionary” device will work for everyone, no matter what you weigh or what kind of shape you are in.  Just Kidding..(Grin)…I think doing something and taking charge is the right thing to do.  Be aware that to see a 6 pack ab you had better not have much fat laying on top of the stomach muscles.

Your body loses weight all over, so if you want to strengthen your core stomach muscles, obliques and love handles and you are in a calorie deficit, then this may do the trick.

Eat healthy, get plenty of sleep, reduce your stress and follow a sensible program and some of the pills that are available to get you over the tough times, then adding this device will assist you. Also, if you have injured yourself or are not very strong and want to get started on a program, then this may be the direction to go along with following a plan.

Sit in it and watch TV, do some crunches, leave the snacks in the fridge…

Enter The Ab Rocket. As seen on TV, this little machine is advertised as a “revolutionary” way to work the lower, middle, and upper abs, in addition to those ornery obliques. Manufacturers claim that taking just 5 minutes a day, ab workouts on The Ab Rocket are said to “melt away inches from the waistline while providing a fun, easy, and comfortable workout experience that is far from the pain and strain of those abdominal punishments we know too well.”

ACTUAL CUSTOMER FEEDBACK

DKP17: The workouts ARE easy to do, I agree…in fact maybe a bit too easy. I really enjoyed the ab Rocket for the first month or so but have not made any real progress since (another month) despite dieting and exercising in other ways. Its not a bad gadget, just i reached a plateau a whole lot sooner than expected. Just something to consider for others.

Michele:  It is not a complicated workout at all. A child can do it with no problem. I’ve been using Ab Rocket for almost a month and I love it. I am also dieting which helps. You cant have a Big Mac and than use the Ab Rocket and expect to see results. I had a baby 6 months ago and my stomach is much flatter and firmer since I bought this product. Remember, you have to watch what you eat too!

Olivia: I don’t know about flex belt but Ab Rocket is working beautiful for me. I am very proud of me and my effort after each session! My abs I feel are starting to show especially since I lost 10 lbs on south beach online.
