Ab Circle Pro
A treadmill for your abs.
BACKGROUND
Touted as a treadmill for your abs, the Ab Circle Pro is a portable fitness device that tones your abs while also trimmig your bum, thighs and hips.

I love the Ab Pro.....For those of you who it hurts your knees extremely you may be a little/a lot over weight for this. I have had no problems with it hurting my knees and I weight around 155 pounds. Now my boyfriend on the other hand, who is heavier than me, said that it hurts his knees and his knees are much bigger than mine and he is over 200 pounds. Maybe Ab Pro needs to sell different size knee pads for larger people.
I have been using the Ab Circle Pro for a little over a week now. I am sticking with the 10 day slim down nutritional guide as well and can see immediate results. I did not think this machine was going to work because I read the reviews but its only up to you on how you want results. Eat Healthier, Use The Ab Circle Pro and you will definately see results. The only issue I have had is that the bar that keeps the knee pads hooked together sometimes slides out when going from side to side.
I just got my machine 2 days ago but when looking online to order more of the videos I can't purchase from the site either. I was just wondering where I might go to purchase additional videos?
I just order the ab circle. I read all the comments and its 50/50 some like it some hated it. I hope that I get a positive result.
Has anyone just tried attaching extra padding to the knee area (i.e. socks or dish cloths with duct tape) I have not gotten mine yet but I intend to try something along those lines. Also, I have seen this item on ebay.
I recieved mine two days ago ,and I worked out 5 minutes , I suffured all night with knee pain , also a person tends to fall out of the knee pads while operating machine this has happened twice , the whole knee pads need to be redesigned, I m gonna see about getting knee pads and see if that helps
im waiting for my ab circle pro to come in the mail, very excited!! im very keen to do this as i need to lose 8kgs fast!!!! :)
there is a warranty on this product, even an extended warranty. And, there is also a max weight limit of 275lbs. You must read and review before purchasing or you have no room to complain.
I ust received mine yesterday and am on day 2 of my workout. I have the machine on the 2nd level and have had experiences both positive and negative already. I can feel a burn in my upper abs, obliques, arms and even chest believe it or not. I worked up a minor sweat after doing 5 mins while watching the end of a tv show and then did the 3 min video twice. I have almost slipped out of the knee pads, they have made my knees sore and while doing this on my hardwood floors the more you twist the more the machine slides across the floor. As for the rollers being hard to "roll" smear a little vasline around the edges, solved all my issues. Overall I'm happy so far and feeling some burn, kinda nervous the machine will just break apart under me after reading some of these tho. Will keep everyone updated! =) HAPPY WORKOUTS!!
I just received the ab circle pro. So far I like it, but the handle bars seem flimsy, and I agree about the comments people have made about the knee pads. I do think people will have to invest in aditional knee padding, if they don't want sore knees after the workout. I'm heading over to Sports Authority this weekend just for that. Otherwise, the ab circle pro seems like a DECENT product.
I like this machine. I can feel it in my abs, back, front and back of my arms as well. I have back trouble and I can work my abs without hurting my back. I think it is a good investment and not that expensive either.
I like the machine but it is hard on my knees. And i would like to buy a workout dvd but cannot find where to buy one.
I have only had the ab circle pro for a week but I really enjoy it. The exercises are very easy to do but also seem to be very effective. I can feel it working my abs already.
Why would someone buy this and you can do the same thing sitting in a revolving chair while holding on to a desk. It supports your back, work your abs and doesn't hurt your knees and you get the same results...........I am just saying try a chair first then consider to buy this thing.
Does anyone know if this product has a weight limit ? The people who said it is a piece of crap and fell apart do you mind me asking how much do you weigh? And I wonder if maybe heavier people might not be able to use it
I love this machine but I am unable to order any other videos from this sight. Does anyone know how to order the upgraded videos?
I ordered the Ab Circle on Sunday morning and I just got it delivered to my door today (Wed). I am also in California where it was shipped from which may be why it came so fast. I have many at home workouts and work out 5+times a week. I put it together in about 10 minutes and was able to use it for about 5 minutes before I had to jump on a conference call. I did break out into a minor sweat in those 5 minutes and could feel it in abs right now as I type this. The 3 minute express workout is really just an overview of some of the moves and not an actual workout. It is rough on the knees a bit but I'm willing to throw on some knee pads. I paid in full about $250 total.. Ouch!
I will provide an update in a few weeks to see if I get some good results.
I just got my in. I like it so far. My knees do hurt though. They are even sore after the second day. I wish they would have made the knee pads a little better.
The machine was fun at first but I didn't see the results I had hoped for. I used it for a little over the month when the entire left side of the machine fell apart while in motion causing me to be thrown from the machine and injure my left leg. I contacted the company three times and have yet to hear back from the corporate office as promised. I am following up with an attorney today. Don't buy!!!
But i am trying to buy videos and the computer/ipod attachment but cannot seem to order on line.
