Good tips, but I discovered I can get a better overall workout if I mix up my seating position. For example, if I set lower down near my feet I feel it more in my upper abs, if I lean forward and sit up taller I hit my lower abs, and then when I sit normal I hit all my abs. I'm sure sitting normal would be just as good, but I noticed changing the seat around a little bit really allows me to hit all the spots. I do have a tendency to grip the handles too tightly, so I like your idea of pressing down with your elbows. I'm going to try that on my next work out I'm definitely going to start doing slow and controlled
So... all of the don'ts, I did. I woke up the next day and could not move from soreness in my neck and upper back. Five days later I am still experiencing neck pain. F THE AB COASTER!! I actually can't wait to get back on it, but I am so livid that it took me out for almost a week. Thanks for sharing the tips. Hopefully I won't make the same mistakes twice.
hey thanks this helped alot, i just wish the handles were ajustable, being that im a short person i do have a bit of trouble with the body positioning on this thing
I disagree on the knees in front of the hip, causing you to strengthen the hip flexors. Allowing for smooth controlled extension could help sciatica, disc and low back pain. I will likely buy one to test out.
great tips. I was doing it wrong. but at times the while gliding it makes a really loud grinding noise. what gives? please help. I like using at night but can't cause I wake up the kids.
Hello, please please tell me what is the model that costs 249 made out of? The one on the TV ad? I want one that is made of steel and I don't want to hear creaking when I do the workout. Can you help me with a model that i will be happy with?
I don't see how he sits up on the Coaster so easily. My form must be terrible, but I can't stay still on it. Sometimes I sit down on it, but I think he's sitting up off his back leg more. He looks too comfortable lol. I find it difficult to do with ease xD.
My patella does not track correctly. Which causes me a lot of pain in my knees if I put pressure on them. Would this hurt my knees? It looks like most of the pressure would be just below the knees.
Hi, My name is Frankie. I wanted to do a 20 min work out on my ab coaster 3 times a week. I have only done one week, the first time was awesome I could tell I just had a really good work out, but the after the next 2 the only place I felt anything was in my lower back, and now if I bend down to pick something up my lower back REALLY hurts! My question is, Was I doing something wrong? or are my muscles just not used to this? p.s. My last work out was a few day's ago.
With weight added and effort you could see results in no time.Also Depending on how much body fat you have. I'd have a six to eight pack,if i didn't have the extra bodyfat.
I always try to find an area between slow and to quick. To quick obviously gives minimum to zero results on your abs. And slow gives you a lot of results but it’s more time consuming when you only have 30 minutes a day and i do a full full body workout.. But i get results which is the goal! Anyways guys best advice ever!
I just bought this abcoaster Lol , and I'm 4f11 , as soon as I put it together I jumped right in and started going fucking fast, Lol , as soon I got off the machine I dropped to the floor!! My upper body was in fucking pain and twitching, I'm too short for this machine Lol
@@johnnytalapia6467 yes. Thank you for the recommendation, I did actually slow down, I finally found an excersise machine that I'm glad I can use, this abcoaster machine is working for me
so in other words im better off to spend 0 and stick to my body weight core excercises like plank, supine variations hanging leg raises and calisthenics instead of this back breaker it sounds completly useless
If you can do 500 reps daily, than it sucks and you are wasting time 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 There are simple ab excersises that take 10 minutes and nothing else needed.
It's like doing weighted knee raises,and weight oblique twist on a pullup bar minus the arm tenison from holding yourself up. It's and actually good machine if you put in the effort. You're obviously here because you don't have any results.
