Ab Benches

Ab benches are devices that are similar to weight benches, with the exception that ab benches have attachment at one end to allow you to anchor your feet and ankles for sit-ups and crunches. A staple in boxing and MMA gyms, this is a classic piece of equipment that any hard core fitness buff can own without feeling like they’re trying to cut corners in their workout.

In addition, they often are adjustable to allow you to increase the difficulty of the exercise. By lowering the “head” of the bench to tilt the flat part of the bench at an angle, it forces your body to work against gravity, which in turn makes your abs work harder. This is why the ab bench is so widely accepted in gyms and fitness centers – it really does make your abs work.

The Stamina Ab / Hyper Bench is one such device that get great reviews on Amazon. While not the cheapest piece of equipment on this site, it did show itself to be among the highest in customer satisfaction according to Amazon’s review scale, a good indication that it’s a solid machine.

Ab Circle

Ab Circle Pro is one of those items you see on T.V. and think, “That looks like a gimmick… I wonder if it works?”

It is. Stay away from this piece of equipment. While the concept seems to hold promise, the bio-mechanics of the movements you do on the machine leave much to be desired, and this piece of equipment had the worst customer satisfaction ratings of any we found.

Unless you get one for free, avoid this machine.

Ab Coaster

The Ab Coaster Pro is definitely the most expensive piece of equipment we’ve reviewed thus far. It’s a heavy-duty, near-commercial-gym-quality abdominal exercise machine that does one thing and one thing only…

It works your abs – hard. The design of the machine is such that your abs do virtually all the work in moving your legs and hips toward your upper body, folding your torso at a precise angle so you are able to target your entire front and side midsection.

While it’s certainly a great piece of equipment, considering the price it seems to be a bit on the overkill side for someone who just wants to get a good ab workout a few days a week. Even so, if you want to get the “Cadillac” of ab machines, this would be it.
