All DietsWhat You Should Know
The Ab-Doer was developed by Thane International Inc. and promises to replace traditional crunches and sit-ups. It is a small machine that claims to mimic the movement of an upright machine, strengthen and tone the abdominal muscles and reduce the size of the users waist. The Ab-Doer can be used by both men and women and by people of almost all fitness levels. It claims that most other abdominal machines on the market only tone and strengthen the muscles and do not decrease the size of the waist, but it can. This machine boasts that it will flatten the stomach, cinch the waistline and eliminate love handles in a matter of weeks without putting stress on the spine like traditional abdominal and core exercises may do.
Product Features
The Ab-Doer features a padded seat so that users can remain comfortable throughout their entire workout. The Ab-Doer also includes a DVD (specifying six-pack attack, fat blast and back and spine conditioning), and instruction manual and a nutrition plan. This machine boasts and ergonomic design that allows users to take the pressure off their spine while exercising. This machine also comes with a nutrition plan so users can develop better eating habits as they tone and strengthen their abdominal and core muscles.

Disadvantages
- The Ab-Doer does not help users tone other areas of the body.
- Though this machine does promise an aerobic workout, it will not be effective enough for those seeking major weight loss.
- The Ab-Doer may not be able to accommodate those with significant weight to lose.
- This machine may not be ideal for those with spinal injuries.
- This machine relies on the user’s drive and willpower, so if you’ve had problems losing weight via exercise in the past then this might not be for you.
Conclusion
The Ab-Doer doesn’t really stand out from the rest of the abdominal exercise equipment available today. If you’re focused on your abs, it could be a good choice but ab toning doesn’t necessarily lead to instant weight loss. There is no absolute evidence to prove that this machine will work for everyone. Users will need to assess their health and fitness goals and decide if using the Ab-Doer is right for them.

I would encourage anyone to use the Ab Doer, even one of the erlier models. I was recently transplanted with a new heart and liver and my recovery was shortened by months as a result of using the Ab doer pryer to surgery. I was only in the hospital for 21 days and I resumed my ab doer routine two weeks later. I have been using one for 8 yrs now, I wore out the first one and my Ab doer Extreem just broke at the base of the spring as I was arching backwards (close call)! I feel the best results I’ve seen is my overall core strength, increased range of motion and flexibility. I have recommeded this machine to everyone. Only one negetive remark, Improvements are needed where the handle bar attaches to the swivle at the top of the spring. It is metal to metal and and the handle bars slips of center. It could use a bushing to reduce the friction there. I am currently looking to purchae the Ab Doer Twist model.

Don’t work for me, hurts my backs and it seems to be designed for short people, also the worse customer service I ever met, they charged me twice and duplicate my order, now I have to pay shipping for send them back. No real answers to my problem

My new AbDoer Twist came today and to my surprise they have actually made a lot of improvements. The quality of the structual frame is solid, they redesigned the swivel attachment where the handle bar attaches with a bushing. The base of the vertical spring has also been redesigned. The handle bars and the grips are slightly wider than the extreme model which is more comfortable to use. Havn’t tried the twist seat yet but it has an adjustable resistance on it and it can be locked in a static position. I purchased the additional resistance rods for the main spring which allows you to increase the tension. Overall I am very pleased with it construction and I only waited a week for delivery. If you are serious about core fittness you should purchace one.

Has anyone that is not overweight, but working on buildng muscle and tone gotten physical visual results using the AbDoer Twist??? cuz i want to try it, but need more real reviews first i think… Thanks-Poni
[Reply]
Great for controlled stretching, if you have the space and it takes a lot of room even if the physical footprint is small. Not munch use elsewise. Donated ours.

If one had bad knees and joints, which makes it difficult to do normal exercises, do lengthy walks, or jog, would this machine help me lose weight with a special eating plan like the Atkins diet. Would appreciate any comments or advice.
