Could you use this product to do ab exercises?

Well it was not designed for ab exercises. But you can do abs anywhere, so sure. The back will decline, so you could probably do some sort of declining situp. However, there is nothing to lock your feet into. Though you could probably wrap a rope or strap around the front mounted handle and then stick your feet into the strap.

Yes it folds down to a decline. You can put weights on your chest and your legs in and do abs.

Yea, seat is fat enough for you to hook your legs, however it's a bit more effort than hookjng yout feet on standard benches with foot rests.

No, this is strictly for doing dips only. No other exercise can be performed except dips. Hope this helps?

You could probably set it up to do some ab work but I haven't tried any exercises like that. It's not really designed for that. By design,the device balances your body on it and if you were to lift your upper body all the way up, it might cause you to rotate back upright unless you adjust the settings so you are not balanced.

Yes . When you use it start slow and short. Let the ab wheel bring you back. It took me about 2 weeks until I went all the way out. Also remember to keep your ab muscles as tight as you can. Hope this helps , if you have any more questions please ask

Hello, yes it can be used for arm exercises. I bought the pedal exerciser for my 86 year old mother for her exercises & she loves it. Now we all use it for legs & arms. I was concerned that it would move around while using but it doesn't.

There ab exercises that you can do with them. It all depends on which ones you want to do. One exercise I've used them for is 60 second decline planks (that's a killer)! Plus they come with a workout that you could work into your own routine. The balls have a good grip and are durable. Hope this helps.

For abs I lie down with my feet hooked under the leg bar and do sit ups. For the gluteus I would use the strap behind the heel and do straight leg pull backs. I haven't done a lot of work on this and I am certainly not an expert.

If your bottom muscles are sore, I'm sure you could. I have a very bad back and my last heating pad died, so I bought this one and it's great! It even works for my neck area, although it's harder to use the massage because there are areas of the pad that stick out and it can get noisy like that. ;)

Hi Jan, if you are looking for a device specifically for ab work, this won't be good for you. This inversion table is more important if you are looking to stretch your spine. Mostly designed for releif in back pains. Hope this would answer your question.Amos

Not really. It's more of a general body workout . . . so yes, it does work your abs, but only in the sense that it works most of your muscle groups. For ab work, nothing beats the old crunchs and leg-lifts.

Yes, but you have to be active so your core can get heated up and generate more sweat. It also helps with back aches from sit ups and crunches

No, I had to buy that separate. There are abdominal exercises that you can DO on the machine, but it does NOT come with the ab crunch attachment.

I suppose you could put some pressure on your abs. However, when I have to use the thing my back is killing me so I haven't. At full inversion I doubt you'll be able to do much of a sit up in a classic sense however.

Dear MonaThis is not the primary use for these.However because it does lift fascia I suppose it might have an effect. On cellulite.

I don't use mine for yoga, but I suspect you could. It all depends on the class, I guess. I use mine to loosen up tight muscles in my back and it works very well for that.

Yes it would. It comes with a diagram on how to use it for abs and other workouts.

My personal preference for ab crunches,is from a sitting position,pulling weight from the lower pulleys.Lock the arms in the straps,add whatever weight you prefer,and dip forward.You can regulate how much pressure you shift to your abs.And can also add twists for the lats,and back.I find that is much less strainful,than doing them from a sitting position,and still can maximize energy to the abs.===Richard
