The Ab Glider, manufactured by ProForm, is an exercise machine that tones both your upper as well as lower abdominals.  It burns away excess fat around your mid-section and makes you slim and trim.  It helps develop six-pack abs really fast.  At least a few users of the Ab Glider have reported that it exercises the upper arms as well.

There are claims that 3 minutes each day with this machine can work wonders for you.  However, realistically, a 15-minute session each day – more if you have time to spare – can actually bring about amazing results.

It has an on-board computer with a display that displays the duration of your workout, the number of repetitions and the calories you are burning.

Ab Glider Specifications

The item model number is PFBE19610.  Its shipping weight is 56.8 pounds and the dimensions are 47.3 x 18 x 10 inches.  It needs 1 AA type battery.  As the manufacturers claim, the Ab Glider has a strong steel frame and track that is built to last a lifetime.  Even so, the manufacturer provides a one year comprehensive warranty that covers all components.

It comes with a weight-loss eating guide, a three-minute results DVD and an abs DVD.

How Ab Glider Works

As you hold on to the handlebars, keeping your arms, shoulders and chest steady, the Ab Glider helps you exercise your abs in different ways.  Your hips get swayed from side to side giving your obliques a thorough workout.  The front-to-back movement simulates the ab crunch workout.  In addition to this, the 180° rotation (circular burn) helps in removing flab even faster.

It has a locking mechanism for use during the front-to-back moment.  This prevents the seat from turning or swivelling.

Ab Glider : Real Consumer Feedback

Most people who have used the Ab Glider say it has helped them immensely.  Some users have reported that it takes two people to assemble this equipment while a few others have confirmed that they put it together all by themselves.  This seems to be having something to do with each person’s familiarity with handling different equipments and devices.

“I Feel it is value priced, as other comparable contraptions sell for much more or they dont do as much. This one works you side to side as well as up & down. I think this will help strengthen my back as well as abs & arms ….so yeah….whats not to like?” - Longshank “Larry” from Maine, USA, Amazon.com

“This machine would have been great if the manufacturer did some minor adjustments. A knee cup/ or knee pads would have been a nice comfort. Also, the handle bars should have been made adjustable. This machine is great for anyone between 5′ to 5’5 otherwise it’s simply to “small” for bigger people… too restricting for the range of motion you would require for a GREAT ab workout. Smaller people will get the full benefits of the machine.” – A. Ashley, USA, Amazon.com

“I was very satisfied with the product with the exception of the Digital console being damaged (it was in three pieces and should’ve been one). I could’ve dealt with that if the printed circuit board wasn’t broken in two, which meant you couldn’t get any onscreen diagnostics for the workout. Otherwise it was really easy to put together and seems sturdy and well built. Please do a better job packaging ProForm!!!” – Kevin D. Baskin, Kentucky, USA, Amazon.com

“If you do buy this machine, just give it time. I was tempted to take it back after the first day, but now I’m glad I stuck it out. I do think it’s a good machine, and a good buy for the price, but it is a learning process.” - Susan from Michigan, USA, Amazon.com
