would this be ideal for ab work and various ab exercises

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.

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

Kat, if you are 'just' starting to workout then the BBL would be a good starting point. I'm between intermediate and advanced and didn't even break a sweat with it. So definitely wouldn't recommend for anyone BUT beginners.

Perhaps a bit for pulldowns, but you can adjust by kneeling or squatting in front facing the machine when doing pulldowns. You should be OK for the other exercises.

Yes it works perfectly fine. You can do sit ups crunches ab twist. A lot of things

It would probably hold up pretty well. I use it for ab work too although I haven't used the ab wheel on it. It holds up well unless something pointed, like a bicycle cleat, punctures it :-) Merry Christmas!

If you're a beginner, yes it can be helpful. It is a useful tool for exercising.

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 really does you will start to see the out line of your ab very shortly, just don't slack of and make sure your dedicated to it or it wont work as much!

I am not a trainer but i have been going to the gym for years now. The ab wheel seems to target upper and a little lower abs(at least with me). Outer obliques can be targeted using the side plank.

I don't see why not. I don't think that they would make a different Ab Crunch for each individual model.Note: I believe one can get just as good of an ab workout by just putting the machine at the highest level, mount machine by laying on your back, push handles and of course cables to your sides and crunch till your tummy has enough, then take a two minute break and then.........have at it again.Just my opinion.Gary

I think so given the exercise machine you are using. It would save on the wear and tear of your carpeted floors.

Are you able to do ab exercise without the fear of returning to the upright position

I use this to stretch (leg up, fold over, chest to thigh) and practice barre on. I don't have any issues with it. You can adjust the bottom part by moving it forward or backward depending on how you'll be using it and where your weight will be distributed, this can help if you feel it's unstable.

I don't think so. The ball still helps you sit up straight, which strengthens your back muscles, which are part of your core. You might not get glamorous abs from this chair alone but I still think it's a great tool and helps people with sedentary job get at least a little movement in during the day.

You can use it for upper and lower body exercises as well as the stomach. There is a video and a large poster with directions and pictures of how to use the chair for each of the different exercises. I was in a wheel chair when I bought it because I had broken my leg and my ankle. After a year of inactivity, I needed to start to exercise again. It worked extremely well for me. I still use it for strengthening exercises.

It can be used as both the regular exercise and yoga. Just be careful on what surfaces you put on. I had it for about a year or so and it is still in a great condition. In my personal opinion, if you take care of the mat and clean it after every use as the instructions asks the item will stay nice for a while. I hope this helps. :)
