All over the ab world, abdominal machines get a bad rap. “They’re ineffective” people say, or “my abs look no different than when I started” disappointed customers complain. Some complaints about some ab machines on the market are legitimate, but machine alone cannot turn love handles into six pack abs.

[Abs such as these require daily alternative exercise, including gym, tan, laundry, and fist pumping.]
