Tone muscles and enjoy an effective aerobic workout from a seated position with the Ab-Doer Twist. It's easy to use--just sit down on the device and your body will automatically be positioned in an anatomically correct (and stable) position. As you move in a swivel motion, the Ab-Doer Twist helps eliminate excess fat from your abdominals and obliques while also targeting other "metabolically active" muscles in your inner and outer thighs, hips, and buttocks. The Ab-Doer Twist's state-of-the-art Torsion-Flex technology activates a wide range of muscles groups. And because you're properly aligned and supported, you'll use these muscles effectively, with less stress and less pain. The Ab-Doer Twist is made of gym-quality, heavy-gauge steel, with multiple resistance options. The contouring arm bars on the sides were ergonomically designed to eliminate stress on your hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, neck, and upper back. Just rotate the arms upward and downward to tone the muscles in your shoulders, biceps, triceps, upper back, and chest. While sitting on the swivel-action seat, you can dial up the resistance to burn additional fat or tone your abs, legs, hamstrings, hips, buttocks, and obliques. Plus, the device comes with a massage roller that gives you a revitalizing therapeutic massage with every workout. The Ab-Doer Twist is so effective that it earned a Seal of Approval from the prestigious National Health & Wellness Organization. When you're not using the Ab-Doer Twist, simply fold it down and tuck it away. Designed for users of all fitness levels and body types up to 300 pounds, the Ab-Doer Twist helps you get fit in just minutes a day.

Let me preface my review by first saying I already have a large room full of GYM QUALITY exercise equipment from both Powertec and BodySolid I use religiously almost every day. So, after spending thousands on that, why would anyone want this? Because except for a few exceptions typical home gym equipment does NOT very well address abs or obliques or simply offer clumsy and sometimes painful exercsies like incline leg raises on a exercise bench or high pulley crunches or getting down on the floor each of which can damage your lower back and I already have that probelm. With the Ab Doer Twist you sit down and yes it is fun... to a point.

First impressions: Reasonably priced, well made. Assembly is both fast and simple. Took me less than 12 minutes, watching the step by step that is included on the DVD that comes with the Ab Doer Twist. The unit uses several push and lock pins (bolds) similar to my expensive home gym equipment that holds the arms/handles, seat and massage roller in place and lets you easily adjust positions. Reading the other comments, some have complained about the lack of tension, making it "too easy" ie it won't do what's claimed. Well, guess what, while not included, you can order a "resistance rod kit" (apx $25) that has three rods that add considerable tension making the exercises varying degrees harder depending on what rod you insert. I'm guessing these are not included in the base package because a light resistance might be enough for older people and thouse wishing to mainly do "cardio". I'm going to order that, and if you're already in half way decent shape and not a total coach potato, you probably will want to also. The seat is oversized about 17 inches across, bit less less deep and lightly padded. Still comfortable enough for it's purpose.

A feature that might be confusing is in the ads and photos there is a tension knob. This only controls the resistance of the swivel of the seat what can be very light, to pretty hard plus another lock pin to keep it steady and not twist if you don't want the seat to move. As far as "fun", well that is objective. Because of the design it does allow a wide range of movement both forward and backwards and to the side, the main reason I got it to hit the obliques (love handles) if you have a bit of excess baggage in that area. Because of the wide range of movment you won't get bored which should keep you going.

Will this give you killer six pack abs while letting you enjoy pizza, burgers and fries twice a week along with ice cream and chips? Of course not. If done longer enough I can see where this will help tone and perhaps burn fat, but you still have to watch your diet and do other exercises. I plan to use my Ab Doer Twist AFTER my regular weight training to help tone abs while watching TV, which means probably using it at least 30 minutes at a time every other day to cool down from more demanding weight training. The point I'm trying to make is this isn't a toy. It can work, if you put effort into it and do enough reps. Comes with several exercise plans on the DVD I haven't checked out yet. So far, I'm impressed, glad I got it.
