As a person who, 25 years ago, could do over 2000 sit-ups in 1 1/2 hrs. I now find myself with much less energy and a more sedentary job and 60 years ancient. I have shunned all the other “hide-under-the-bed” exercise scams. I took a chance on this one and must say that the construction and theory are not terrible in practice. For someone who wants to watch TV/listen to composition/meditate while springing back-and-forth, I notice positive ab muscle tensioning. It’s simple to sit there and rock; and before you know it you’re rocking more and more, and simpler and simpler. Since the abs are the key to lower back muscle strength how can this tiny device, at a mere $100 hurt more than the first few days? This item will NEVER be under my bed. I’ll wear it out and question for one made from stainless steel! I reckon it’s the best ab device available, if you need a device to motivate you to do ab exercises. Apt dwellers, this I recommend for you.

This product does work the abs, as it facilitates sit-ups. But the upright backside with the rollers is nearly worthless. As I know it, the backside with its rollers are suppose to rub the the back. This backside’s frame’s curvature will probably not fit a margin of users. So, these rollers will basically softly roll over your backside. Not my thought of a rub, and due to its fitting, only one roller ever touches my backside during actual use, and that roller doesn’t do much for me. As compared to regular sit-ups, the harvest seating design is effective; particularly, if someone has extremely weak abdominal muscles. Product is worth about $50. If you like a vinyl roller softly rolling across your back, product is then worth $100. I tried comparing it to an ab lounge. I believe Ab Rocket works the abdomen better, but the ab lounge exercises and stretches more parts of the body.

I like this product. The only reason for not giving it 5 stars was when I changed the “tension” setting I had to wrestle with it. Other than that I like this machine. I am trying to get back in shape after 2 pregnancies and hypothyroidism. Even my son (6) who struggles with sit-ups uses it…we take turns counting for each other! I would buy it again tomorrow. I own 2 pieces of equipement an elliptical, and this. Beats the gym and fits under my bed. LOVE IT!

My husband wanted the ab rocket to help with his middle age “spare tire”. I was more than pleased to order it for him. It was practically unadorned to assemble and it finished up in the middle of the living room floor in front of the TV. It turned out our son and I always use it too, just cause it there, and it’s fun. I’m one who never did sit ups because I could never keep my neck and shoulders in the right position. The ab rocket supports the neck and has handles to help pull up until you get those ab muscle strong enough to do it on their own. I’d also like to comment on the springs… I have seen reviews where folks were disappointed because the springs provided very small “resistance”. I was under the impression that the spring with the most tension was there as an aid for the beginner & really out of shape (like me) and the more muscle you build in the abs the lighter the spring you would use… Anyway, our family has found the ab rocket a fun way to firm up our “core”.
Additional comments a year later… One of the plastic brackets on the back of the ab rocket broke, so if you don’t keep your legs out honest, the whole business tips over. I’m worried the business just sits in our closet. I find the small bender type ball works just as well for me now. I still reckon ab rocket is a excellent thought and we did get our “money’s worth” out of it before the bracket broke. The manufacturers just need to replace those plastic brackets with something more durable. Who knows, maybe they already have…

The actual item looks excellent and the thought is fantastic, but we were really disapointed with the quality of how it works. It comes with 4 different tension springs from lightest tension to toughest tension, and there clearly just is not enough tension in the springs to accomodate it. we are pretty much normal size people and when you go to ” rock ” backwards it should hold you so that it rocks back smooth. we used the toughest tension adjustment and it still dosnt hold you, it just goes honest back down. So we returned ours and waiting for a refund. you might want to try the AB LOUNGE SPORT which is held to offer a better complete Range of Motion. That is what we are going to try next & the price is a bit cheaper. (seen on sale for $79.00 at kmart website)hope this helps!
