Ab Slide Question... - Exercise & Fitness Message Board

Hello,

I am new here. Just stumbled across you guys. Anyway, I got a new Ab Slide today and worked on it for the first time. I tried it tonight and people had told me that it was very difficult on the first try and all. My stomach is a little tight, but not very much. I did 5 sets of 10...should I have felt it more in my abs as I was doing it, or could it be that I underestimated my own strength? Or could it be that I will be sore tomorrow and regreting ever doing it?
Just curious,
Nicole

I bought an Abslide and returned it b/c like you I did what i thought was a lot and felt nothing.

It looks convincing on the commercial, but I don't think this piece of "equiptment" does anything worth $40.

Just my opinion.

Thanks for the information. Today, I still don't really feel anything other than actually in my back. It doesn't feel like I hurt it, it's just sore. I am gonna hang in there with this for a little while longer and see if I can get some results. Maybe I just have to play with the technique a bit. It's just a shame it didn't come with more or better instructions.

From posts that I've put out there and the responses I got I can tell you that every ab-machine is a waste of money. I've tried a lot of them and inquired about a lot more. The only way to truly get results in the midsection is to diet. If you do regular crunches and leg lifts you can work the ab muscles very well. I didn't start seeing results until I carefully watched my diet and did good old crunches and leg lifts. Personnally I think you wasted your money.

Hehe, I got my money back, the whole $42.27 or however much it was with tax.

I rule.
