So I have purchased a Ab Circle Pro, has anyone know someone who has used this or has used themselves? I did things backwards and bought the thing before researching it and the reviews are not good! I have been doing the Hip Hop abs and have lost 20 pounds, I am just looking to find something to keep me going.

What can I do next?

Throw it in the garbage! You don't need any specialized equipment to work on your abs. Your own body weight is sufficient. Good ab exercises to do:

Stability exercises: plank, side plank, T-pushups, mountain climbers
Rotational exercises: russian twist, hip cross over, dumbbell chop
Trunk flexion exercises: crunch, elbow to knee crunch, raised leg crunch, v-up,
Hip flexion exercises: reverse crunch, leg lowering drill
Side flexion exercises: side crunch, side bend

Pick one exercise to do from each category and do 3 sets of 10 of each. Don't do ab work on consecutive days; you need at least 48-72 hours in between.

Finally, great crunch work will be meaningless if you don't have proper nutrition. You've got to be a clean eater to drop the body fat percentage to see the abs 'pop'.

You will see major results in your abs through Pilates. Much better than what you bought-or standard ab excersizes for that matter.

Toss it!
That thing, like many of the other machines out there, just encourages you to use momentum once you get going...which basically renders the work you're doing ineffective. It's not really "work", you're just swinging.

I love the poster with the basic ab exercises listed below. She hit the nail rigth on the head, and those are all you need to tone your abs.

A friend of a friend bought that and was not happy. She was glad she had gotten it with the trial pricing. I tried it one day and it was difficult to coordinate myself with the motion. I was going to try it and very glad I did not buy it. My husband's cousin bought the ab lounge and that did help her do crunch type exercises but she did not stick to it so it did nothing there either.
