6 Second Abs - Ab Crunch Machine w/ DVD

With a rating of 1, it''s way over rated. Cheap, plastic a mere toy. Our drummer picked one up and trashed in less than a week. Products of this (low) quality only make suspect ANY item for sale on an info-mercial. I was pleasently surprised that I was able to pull it up on Amazon and give it a proper burial. Save your money, hit the floor and give a batch of crunches a go.

It''s a great concept although resistance is almost useless. I''m in my mid-thirties and, although reasonably fit, have never been able to pull off hundreds of crunches mainly because of back problems when doing them. Here was a solution which claimed to get around this.

When I first got the unit, I gave it a go and found the resistance almost unnoticeable. I opened the front, replaced the yellow bands with the "heavy duty" orange ones and tried again again, almost nothing.

At 6 seconds a rep, 10 minutes gets you 100 reps. Don''t know about you but although I could do 100 crunches in the conventional sense, I would certainly know about it the next day. I tried 100 reps on this contraption two days in a row without feeling a thing. This makes the commercials you see showing the six pack wielding workout freaks claiming they "feel the burn" very hard to believe.

With that said, this isn''t necessarily the fault of "As Seen on TV" that they sell this product what''s worthless to me may still be of value to someone else although I can''t imagine who. They did offer my money back in full despite the usual 10% restocking fee but given that a third of the sale price was a non-refundable shipping cost, it hardly makes it worth the effort. Am going to find another use for it perhaps a coat hanger?

Positive voters must be getting kick-backs from somewhere. Perhaps they got their money back if they agreed to promote it.

Don''t believe me buy one and find out for yourself.

When I got the machine, my first impression was "I paid $60+ for this piece of plastic? I probably fell for the old infomercial again!" I was expecting the feel of a little more quality than what it was, however it has not broken over a couple month''s "casual" use. To it''s credit, it is easy to store being compact, and it is light. For the down side, I am a middle-aged office worker, a far cry from the hard bodied actors that advertise this product, yet I was not all that challenged with this machine''s highest resistance. It has four rubber resistance "tubes" that are interchangeable, however the machine can only use two at a time. To increase from it''s highest resistance, you must buy some stronger "tubes" from the manufacturer. Overall, because of the price versus the lack of flexibility to challenge me and the feel of "plastic" quality, I rated it a 2. I might have given it a 3 or 4 if it either had the feel of high quality and durability, OR had more resistance options, OR was priced at around $30. At the $60 price, I would expect a "durable" rather than a "cheap" feel to it, and a wide range of resistance. If this would have been the case, I would have gotten into the 5 star range because the idea of it is fantastic for those of us who do not visit the gym on any regular (or never) basis.

Contrary to the opinion expressed in the previous review I found the resistance levels more than adequate. It might be that it was being used incorrectly by using the back and arms rather than pulling from the abs. I developed very good ab definition after around 2 months working out at 120 crunches on my back 3 times/week. Only problem was the machine broke when it wasn''t even on the highest setting but I intend buying another!
