Why Should I Buy The Wave Or The Ab Circle Pro
I teach clients to exercise at home and so I like to be aware of what exercise equipment is available that I can recommend to my clients. I look at each piece of exercise equipment and assess price point, size and convenience and what particular focus on each machine has.
Home exercisers currently being advertised include the Firm Wave and the Ab Circle Pro which are in a similar price range between $100 and $150. The Firm Wave is a rocking platform that you stand, sit or lie on and the Ab Circle Pro consists of a track with kneepads and handlebars.
The Ab Circle Pro gives a cardiovascular workout as you swing your knees from side to side on the semicircular track and works your abdominals and obliques at the same time to give you toned, flat abs and a trim waistline as well as conditioning your lungs and heart.
Kneeling on all fours while using the Ab Circle Pro is quite uncomfortable at first, but is a great position for toning chest, shoulders and arms as well as building bone density in the wrists to guard against osteoporosis in later life.
When working out on this equipment, be very aware of your posture. Your shoulders should not be hunched, which will make your back look like a camel’s, and your lower back should just have a slight curve in it. In other words your pelvis should not be tilted forwards or backwards and this is the optimum position forgetting a great ab workout.
If you do ab crunches on the floor, it is easy to get them wrong and make the appearance of your abs even worse than before, and you can also make your neck and shoulders ache. The Ab Circle Pro makes it much easier to work your abs correctly; if you find the knee supports make your knees sore, some extra padding seems to work well.
With the Ab Circle Pro you also get a low-calorie diet guide and a short DVD. Like most other home exercise devices, the Ab Circle Pro will indeed help you lose weight and build lean, sculpted muscle if you use it on a regular basis, overhaul your eating habits, and combine it with other types of regular exercise as well.
The Firm Wave is a piece of moulded plastic shaped in a half circle, that is stable on one side for step exercises and unstable on the other side for rocking exercises that also work the core. Like the Ab Circle Pro it is easy to store and is useful for cardio exercise and as a platform for toning exercises and Pilates. It comes with several DVDs that give great workouts for your whole body.
