First of all a better question to ask would be have you heard of or seen the Ab Circle Pro fitness piece of exercise equipment yet?  If you are a night owl you have probably seen an Ab Circle Pro infomercial or ten on late night television.   These great machines are super strong and built with quality gym steel, thus breaking it is pretty much out of the question.  The size is just right and won’t take up much room while you are working out on it and it is small enough to easily be put under a bed, tucked away in a closet or even in the corner of your living room or work out room.

One very important thing to do before beginning any exercise program at all is to consult with your doctor to be sure it will be safe for you to use and if there are any restrictions your doctor may impose. He or she knows you and your current health conditions better than anyone and you need to listen carefully to what is said.

Starting off you will be kneeling in the main position.  Simply rest your knees gently into the comfortable knee bowls provided and be sure to stop if you by chance feel them slipping and adjust them.  Keep your body balanced with your hands on the bars (not overly tight) with your face forward and with your head in an upward position.

Then you will be working the left and right side flexions.  First move slowly to the right as far as you are able to.  Then move slowly to the left in the same manner.  Over time you will be capable of moving further to both the right and left.  Take it slowly and you will surely feel it and get a great work-out.

Then comes the right and left crawls.  Raise your right leg slowly towards the crown of the exercise machine while your left leg follows directly behind which looks like a crawling movement.  Now do the same but start with your left leg towards the crown of the exercise machine with your right leg following directly behind, looking again like a crawling movement.

Now it is time for the rear and thigh move (oh you will feel this working-which is a good thing!)  Remove one side of the silver bar pin that is hooked in the middle and place it in the hole above your right knee pad.  Make sure it is firmly in place and then move each leg up at the same time towards the top of the machine, swing back and repeat.

Finally there are the right and left advanced flexions.   Keep the machine in the same rear and thigh mode as above and slowly sway your entire lower body to the right as far as you are able without injuring yourself.  Repeat this in the opposite direction and go as far to the left as you can.  Use extra caution when using this advanced exercise so as not to fall off since the balance may be a bit tricky to obtain at first.

If you are tired of your flabby abs and “love handles” (which are really anything but lovely looking), why not look a bit further into this amazing small yet powerful piece of exercise equipment? It is still summer and there is still plenty of beach time left to get sculpted and toned nice abs!
