    Sounds like you’re making good progress. I do 10 sets of 50 reps. Or sometimes I will throw in a set of 100 reps. In between each set, I do push ups or some other exercise.

    hey,Dallas Spell. i have an ab coaster. But when i do my reps of 30 with 20 lbs on the side, about 6-7times. i only feel the burn the first 2-3 times. after that i don’t feel it no more, is this what i should be feeling? and is it working when i dont feel the burn no more?

    They do, but not with a bad back dude. Iv’e been there done that back in the football glory days of the 70’s (without a weigth belt) My back is very screwed up at 48 yrs old. I have an AbCoaster and it is very beneficial to my back with gentle decompression and the Ab workout is insane..you have to stabilize your entire body while performing the exercise – I have never tried anything close to it for ab isolation.

    Why don’t people do …
    Why don’t people do squats, deadlifts or the standing press anymore? All the you need for abs.

    ‘Starting Strength’ is where it’s at.

    The idea about adding weights is ingenious. I have the money to purchase this thing but I would like to see if the price drops a little bit more. .

    where did you buy yours?

    I don’t run. I just walk at a fast pace. I keep it at level 10 and set it for Random and use 4.6 for the speed. With the higher level the treadmill will incline and create more resistance. I used to use the elliptical but got bored with it and this burns more calories. My girlfriend also likes the treadmill. Keep up the good work, Dallas.

    Wow, that’s awesome …
    Wow, that’s awesome. What do you do exactly on the treadmill? Walking? Running? I’m confused as to what is the best way to burn fat on a treadmill. Some say to alternate sprints with walking, others say keep the heart beat low, others say you have to be sweating. It’s confusing…

    Certain exercises …
    Certain exercises like side bends and a few others. It’s confusing as to which ones will just firm up the abs and not increase the waist. But I have considered getting an Ab Coaster. I’m currently doing weights in the gym 2 times a week and the treadmill for an hour 2 times a week. I can burn 950 calories in an hour on the treadmill and I dropped 13 pounds since starting the routine

    No, mine does not have any vertical adjustment. Just the horizontal rotation.

    No, it doesn’t …
    No, it doesn’t strain your back or neck at all. That’s why many people like this product — since you’re not laying down on your back it is pain free. It does however make your arms tired, but I’m fine with that.

    Of course diet and exercise is important to reduce the mid-section, but some ab exercises can wind up making the waist larger even though it firms it.

    Looks like a good investment, because at 47 years old I cannot bust my gut for the life of me. It looks like it will strenghten lower back muscles in the process.

    I thought the price …
    I thought the price was fair. I had a personal trainer for a while. It cost me over $400 a week. Fitness equipment in general is expensive but to me, good health and a good self image is well worth the cost. :-) I’ve never regretted any money I’ve spent on fitness.

    I like it. I added two 10 lb plates on either side, so it’s harder. Then I turn up the TV and exercise while I watch. It also exercises your arms quite a bit. Often they get tired before my abs. There is no strain on my neck or back.
