Ab workouts can be done with the vest on. Keep in mind that weights go in both the front and back of the vest. When doing standard sit-ups and crunches you will feel the weights in the back if the vest. It is not uncomfortable for me but the weights are noticeable.

Yes, this is our most compact model, you will be able to do all workouts without the vest hindering any of your movements.

It's honestly a whole gym in one if you figure out how to utilize it, I still have mine and use it all the time. I just take out the weights on the back for situps or even hold the vest on chest for more weight if needed without having to lay on the bulky weights on the back. For lower abs hook your feet through it and do hanging leg raises.

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.

Yes. Legs, arms, abs...just about everything. Works great by itself. You can also get a Pilates box to do even more of the traditional exercises.

I use them for pushups. Also using them for situps instead of overhead bar makes the resistance greater.

I would recommend the usage of Dumbbells if you'd rather build muscle than stay lean. I prefer bands for the latter. You need a matt to perform abs, an agility ladder, a pull-up bar, and a jumping rope.

This is not the right thing for it. This is a binder and you need an abdominal splint along with a lifestyle change to bring your abs back together. This definitely won't work.

I tried it a while back, it didn't work for me. Lower ab fat stays on for me, and I don't mind all that much because I found Organic Goat Weed works for me. Resistance sit ups with 100lbs on my chest for 5 sets of 5 reps with 30-120 sec rest is working right now (I feel comfortable doing 8), and I will increase the weight when I can do 10 to 15.

i think using this relatively low priced tool in addition to crunches and pushups/pull-ups, you will achieve the best defined abdominal area ever. Thats my two-cents worth!

I can't see why you couldn't as the vest falls just below your chest. Unfortunately I don't do traditional sit-ups anymore to give you a true answer. I take on the non-traditional ab/core workout as you would see in the Insanity program. The vest never bunches up for anything else that I do. Its very well built and the velcro straps are sturdy so it keeps it tight to the body. I can say that the vest is one of the best purchases for training purposes that have ever made. You'll be amazed how fast you get used to the weight during your workout. I swear by it and highly recommend it. Hope that helped. J

If you want to use it to tighten abs you have to do ab exercises while you are using it

I'm not sure I completely understand what you're asking. But you can definitely do anything like that with a Gymboss Minimax, which has more capability for a few dollars more. This is the basic Gymboss which I understand is more limited in functionality. I have the Minimax.

For glutes you want to do hamstring extensions, one leg at a time, standing up, as well as leg press (the bench comes apart, and the second piece unclips and can freely move back and forth, you sit on this and do leg press). For abdominals, you want to sit on incline bench, then and use the straps one in each hand, crossed across chest. Then do "sit-ups" on an incline. It works quite well. There are also some other things you can do to work the stomach muscles as well but I only do the exercises I listed.

I very much like this inversion table. Easy to assemble, doesn't take up too much space, don't have to change clothes and shoes just to use it. Primarily for stretching out my back, as my back and torso are my weakest points. I added sit ups, as well as side crunches, and am attempting to add elbow to opposite knee crunches. I'm sure there are other exercises you can try, but I tend to play it cautious.

Anithing disposal in ISA.The solution for lower abdominal muscule is in Amazon Europa is THE COMPEX ENERGY....His performance is superb at very low cost.

It will give you a stronger core for sure! You will feel your abs tighten as you work out. It takes more speed to spin to keep it on your waist, so cardio will also be a part of the conditioning. For the price, it's well worth trying out!

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

Uh,How many times are you going to ask this question? ;)There are better (and cheaper) solutions than either of those products, but perhaps the best is consistently adhering to an exercise program suited to your fitness goals.
