Good piece of equipment for your abs in my book but follow a sound diet,cardio or it won't work.

You can find them on craigslist for $150-250

We have one at my gym and people use it and love it. From a money well spent point of view, I think it is a success. Now from a scientific/PT point of view.....yeah I think we can expect a funny pic from AskTheTrainer shortly.

For $400, I can think of a dozen things I'd buy before an Ab Coaster. A plain old $30 Physio Ball works pretty good on the abs. Ab Straps and a chin up bar work good too.

Anything that has the word coast in it is probably not the way you want to go. Its doing all the work for you with little resistance so after about the 3rd or 4th time you use it, its worthless. It takes a little effort to reach the goals you want to achieve. Kind of like the gazelle. All your doing is wearing out your joints and swinging back and forth. Your basically just using motion and your own momentum for the exercise. Next time I would do some research BEFORE you purchase equipment such as this.

It's another gimmick like the "ab lounge"... Its primarily designed to get lazy fat people off the couch and into an expensive, somewhat ineffective piece of equipment.

If you read the fine print on the commercial it states that for it to be effective, one must combine with a reduced calorie diet and a workout plan... Without the latter, you are wasting your time...

I still laugh every time I go to my friend's house and see his ab lounge (which he got when it first came out--expensive) and see it gathering dirty clothes and dust... He like most of the people that will buy the ab coaster, used it a few times and then let it become a waste of space.

BTW: see if you can cancel your order, then spend the money on a ab ball and possibly a gym membership.

they had a few at the gym i worked at before...they were SH*T. fat people would hop on and fling themselves back and forth. theyre loud and annoying. noone does them right. after a couple weeks of using them incorrectly the seat part dug into the track and scraped the hell out of it. there would be shavings of the track underneath it daily. i thought it was the biggest waste of like 2 grand for them.

apparently you can add plates to it to give you some resistance?

Eh, this stuff just seems useless to me. I would never waste money on such a piece of junk when you can do things which are more effective minus spending money on a machine.
