Question: Does the ab lounge and other ab equipment I see on infomercials really work?

Answer:

When watching these commercials on TV remember one thing. There is no single piece of equipment that will get the best results. The abdominal equipment you see may be effective at activating your abdominal muscles but this does not mean they will result in a six pack. These machines go off the myth of spot reducing meaning that you can target where you will burn fat off your body by doing exercises on that area. You body will select where it will use fat deposits based mainly on genetic predispositions. During ab exercises can burn fat anywhere on the body not just the abdomen. To work on a six pack stomach you need to be focusing on your caloric intake, cardio, and total body strength workouts.
