Ab Rocket Twister Reviews?

Apparently the Ab Rocket Twister is one of the hot new fitness products on the market. We've already gotten a dozen requests for reviews of this new "infomercial" abdominal exercise machine. After spending about an hour searching for real customer reviews online it's easy to see why: there appears to be very little authentic user feedback regarding the Ab Rocket Twister! So let's see if we can change that situation...

Here's one message that we received last week:

"Hi. I'm thinking about buying the new Ab Rocket Twister and would like to know if you think it really works? Is it really as effective as they claim on the commercial? Have you used it yet? I'm kind of desperate to burn off the roll of belly fat I've added this winter, especially since I'm going on vacation (Miami Beach) in May! I had six pack abs just a couple of years ago and I really want them back. Please help me decide whether or not I should purchase the Ab Rocket with a review or suggestion. If you think it's a rip-off please let me know so I don't waste my money. Thank you so much for your help!"

- Monica R.

Well, first things first: no ab exercise machine is going to burn off all your stomach fat and/or give you six pack abs by itself. All infomercial fitness and weight loss products claim to provide "easy" weight loss results but we have yet to find one that actually does so. Remember that weight loss, and especially fast weight loss, is about 75% diet. If you're not eating a proper, clean diet you're not gonna lose fat and shed pounds... no matter how many "Ab Rocket Twists" you do. Even the commercial states that you must use the included diet plan in order to lose the pounds and inches promised in the marketing hype!

That being said, a machine or device that helps you do more effective exercises, abdominal or other, can certainly be useful. I used the original Ab Rocket on several occasions and was actually very surprised that I liked it. Let's face it: sit-ups, crunches, and just about all other unassisted ab exercises are difficult, especially if you're very out-of-shape, overweight, or have any back problems. The original Ab Rocket provides a type of assistance that reduces much of the discomfort associated with typical abdominal/core exercise movements. It appears the new Ab Rocket Twister works on the same principle but adds a twisting motion capability to work the oblique muscles.

In the end I never did buy my own Ab Rocket because I tend to avoid things that make exercise easier. I know from many years of experience that harder, more difficult exercises provide much better overall fat burning, muscle building results.

The spring assistance provided by the Ab Rocket and new Ab Rocket Twister reduces the effectiveness of each individual repetition because it basically lowers resistance levels. Of course, it will probably allow you to do more crunches and sit-ups than you would normally do. That's a good thing in most cases and for some people, especially those who are currently very out-of-shape, the Ab Rocket Twister may be a decent investment. More "comfortable" home exercise options can make it more likely that you'll workout more frequently and get into shape faster.

The problem with many infomercial products is that they simply aren't made very well. Any comfort advantage they provide is overshadowed by the discomfort that comes from using a cheaply-made machine for long periods of time. The original Ab Circle Pro is a good example of that.

Personally I would hold off on buying the Ab Rocket Twister until more information is available online. Please leave your own reviews, testimonials, questions, and comments regarding this soon-to-be-very-popular new exercise machine below... thanks!

Get "Six Pack" Abs -- A Fast, Healthy Way

Lots of people want to lose fat fast and get "six pack" abdominal muscles in a minimal amount of time. In fact it's one of the hottest topics in the world of fitness. Well-defined abs have become almost like status symbols in today's society. 6-pack abs can only be obtained by having very low body fat levels (under 10% for most people) and well-toned lean muscle tissue, at least in the abdominal/core area. Below we're going to outline a relatively simple way to burn off your extra fat, lose several unwanted pounds, build and tone those stomach muscles (and the rest of your muscles while we're at it), and get six-pack abs in the fastest and healthiest way possible...

1. Get a Game Plan -- Unless you have incredible genetic potential (the kind about 1 in every 100,000 people have), you're not gonna be able to just "wing it" and then somehow end up with great-looking, toned abs. You've got to set some specific goals, create or find a step-by-step fitness/exercise/diet plan, and then stick to that plan closely for several weeks or possibly even months. Weekly and daily "to do" lists are extremely useful until certain important actions (exercise, diet, etc.) become automatic habits.

2. Get On a Lower-Carb, "Natural" Diet -- Diet is about 75% of the solution when it comes to fast, healthy weight loss. Most people's bodies don't handle processed carbs and even some starchy carbs very well. You'll get six pack abs much faster if you cut out refined sugars, processed flours, white potatoes, and most grains from your eating plan. This will cut calories safely while helping to get your blood sugar and insulin levels down and stabilized.

Focus your meals around quality proteins, nuts/seeds, vegetables (especially the green and leafy variety), beans/legumes, small amounts of fruit, and a decent amount of healthy, unrefined fat (think virgin olive oil, avocado, and natural peanut butter). If you can get at least 90-95% of your weekly calories (cheat meals or OK) from natural, unrefined foods you'll be able to burn fat, get rid of that stubborn belly fat, and get those well-defined 6-pack abdominals in a very quick way.

3. Do Short, Intense Workouts Often -- Getting abs isn't all about just doing "ab workouts". In fact, ab-specific exercise (crunches, sit-ups, leg raises, etc.) should only be a compliment to the best form of fat-burning exercise out there: full-body, interval-based, circuit training. Short, high-intensity workouts based around brief "intervals" of strength training and cardio exercise will literally force your body to burn up its fat stores for energy while adding lean muscle tissue and allowing you to get to the low bodyfat percentage necessary for sexy tummy muscles.

So there you go: a simple outline of the steps you can take to get six pack abs in a fast, healthy, safe, and efficient way. A good plan, natural diet, and smart exercise routine is truly all you need to get the lean, sexy, toned body you want!

The Best "Simple" Way to Lose Belly Fat and Get Six Pack Abs Fast

Looking for a good way to burn off your stubborn abdominal fat and get "six pack" abdominal abs as quickly as possible? All it really takes is a few weeks of focused effort along with the know-how required to get the job done. The "formula" for fast fat loss and toned, sexy muscles is this:

Clean Diet + Efficient Exercise + Good Supplementation = Fast, Healthy Weight Loss

Yes, that's all there really is to it! No starvation. No long, boring marathon workouts. No super-expensive or dangerous diet supplements. No insane exercise programs. Just smart, simple diet and exercise techniques that have been proven over and over again to work!

Here's the best "simple" way to lose belly fat fast and get six-pack abs quick:

Start off by getting motivated. Write out a goal statement and read it daily. Watch motivational videos often. Listen to motivational music, especially during workouts. Post photos of fit, sexy people where you'll see them often.

Next boost your energy by getting plenty of quality sleep and drinking lots of water every day. Consider taking a green tea-based energy supplement if you want an extra boost.

Start on a clean diet, which is going to give you about 3/4's of your fat loss results. Eat mainly meats, veggies, fruits, nuts, seeds, beans, and legumes. Avoid all refined sugars, flours, and fats. Limit and vary your intake of starchy carbs, including breads/grains and potatoes. Try to eat up to 6 small protein-rich meals/snacks per day to keep your metabolism boosted.

Do the best forms of exercise. You don't need to, and actually shouldn't, spend hours doing typical "cardio" workouts. Straight cardio is no the most efficient or effective form of fat-burning exercise. Instead focus on doing just a few short, intense, full-body resistance-training workouts per week. Use interval-style training techniques in order to elicit a big hormone-production (natural HGH!) response from your body. This will burn off that belly fat while simultaneously toning and strengthening your entire body (including those all-important ab muscles!).

Take the best supplements. Whey protein powder to boost quality protein intake. Omega 3 fats, especially if you don't eat a lot of fish, in order to optimize metabolism and speed up healthy weight loss. A high-quality multivitamin in order to ensure you're body has all the nutrients it needs to burn fat at a fast rate while repairing lean muscle tissue.

There you go: one of the best "simple" ways to burn off stomach fat and get a sexy 6-pack in a fast, healthy, efficient manner. These things will work for anyone who really makes an effort!

A Quick & Easy Way to Get Six Pack Abs

Looking for a quick and (relatively) easy way to burn fat fast and get those sexy "six pack" abs all the fitness models and celebrities have? Then use the simple steps described below. They are proven to work very, very well. You'll soon be on your way to burning off the layer of fat covering your stomach and abdominal muscles while building strong abs and obliques at the same time...

1. Get on a Low(er) Carb Diet

No, you don't need to avoid all carbs... just the bad ones. Limiting yourself to only whole, natural, unprocessed carbohydrate foods is one of the quickest and easiest ways to lose your stomach fat and get 6-pack abdominals. Avoid all processed/refined sugars and flours no matter what. Also consider cutting out most starches for the time being, including potatoes, rice, and grains. Get 90% of your weekly carb calories from "good carbs": vegetables, fruits, beans, legumes, nuts, and seeds. Doing this will get your insulin levels under control, cut down on "empty" calories, boost your energy, improve the way you feel, and help you lose belly fat... all at the same time!

2. Do Full-Body Strength Training

At least 2 or 3 times per week do a full-body strength training workout involving all the major muscle groups. Focus on doing "big" compound exercises that force you to use lots of stabilizer muscles, such as: push-ups, pull-ups, dips, squats, lunges, etc. Total-body resistance training is an incredibly effective way to burn fat while also toning all your muscles and developing those core muscles in your midsection and lower back. Besides burning huge amounts of fat and calories, total body workouts cause your body to pump out steroid-like hormones that cause you to lose weight very fast while maintaining vital muscle tissue. In short, full-body training is your key to getting six pack abs the fast and easy way!

Any Total Core Reviews Out There?

I keep seeing infomercials for the new "Total Core" ab machine and I was wondering if there are any customer/user reviews out there? This ab gadget seems a lot like the Ab Circle Pro, which is a hot fitness product right now. Like the Ab Circle -- and many other infomercial exercise machines -- the Total Core seems to do a lot of the work for you... which doesn't make a whole lot of sense. After all, if you're not doing the crunches and sit-ups on your own, you're not going to get as much ab stimulation as possible. The Total Core does seem to be a little better made than most of the other low-quality gadgets out there, but we're still not yet willing to buy it just to see whether it's another crappy gadget or if it's a legitimate tool for strengthening and toning the abdominal muscles.

So if you or (anyone you know) have used the Total Core, please take a moment to leave your reviews in the comments section below. Also feel free to leave any questions, comments, ratings, etc. there, as long as they're all related to the product.

By the way, before you go and purchase this or any abdominal machine, just remember one thing: you can do ab exercises all day long but, unless you lower your overall body fat percentage, you're not going to have "six pack" abs anytime soon. The only way to get rid of belly fat and get a lean, sexy midsection is to use proven diet and exercise techniques.

Hanging Leg Raises for Six Pack Abs

Hanging legs raises are some of the best "secret" exercises for getting six pack abs and developing a strong and stable overall core/midsection. They're another great example of a super-effective bodyweight-only exercise that burns fat, builds and tones muscles, and develops functional strength all at the same time!

Get Six Pack Abs With Bodyweight Exercises

Want "six pack" abs? The first step is to lower your body fat significantly... probably to single digit levels if you really want defined ab muscles. The second step is to strengthen your core muscles. But don't think that crunches, situps, and leg raises are the only exercises for getting a 6 pack! One of the best ways to strengthen your core, prevent injuries, and increase "functional" strength -- while improving your abdominal muscles at the same time -- is to do intense bodyweight-only exercises on an unstable surface, such as an exercise ball.
