Has anyone tried the Ab Swing?

[Michon]

It used to be available only through an infomercial or TV home shopping network. Now it's sold at Target stores. If you've used it, does it work? Does it cause any lower back strain? (Looks uncomfortable to sit in or hold that position for long.) Is the equipment durable or cheap plastic? Any comments would be helpful. Thanks!

It looks very uncomfortable. I predict will it is a fad item. Also, looks painful is that ab thing that you rock back and forth with your chest; that will be a goner soon as well.

wherever i was a member at a gym they always had these (for a while now). i think they are pretty good to work your abs. i use them as one of my ab-exercises.

You're better off getting a machine that works the entire body. I've always felt home machines that target one area of the body are a waste of money and a new machine is manufactured every week. So called spot specific exercising will not produce adequate results. You'll get faster results doing a total body workout.
