It seems like there’s a new infomercial every day about some fitness gadget…..its up to personal trainers to point out fitness products that are useless or harmful….so the products today are the “Ab Roller” and “Torso Track.” Save your money and avoid these gadgets because they create muscle imbalances and eventually injuries.
And, here’s a bonus tip: avoid doing ab exercises on machines. Why? You will get better results by not doing ab exercises on machines. Machines stabilize your body for you and don’t allow you to move your body naturally (functionally).
You get faster, lasting results when you do exercises that force the body to stabilize itself. Examples are side planks (pictured above), glute bridges, ab ball rollouts and medicine ball chops.
Exercises done standing or done with the support of your hands (or arms) and feet (or legs) will challenge you more and give you better strength and fat loss results. In other words, the less equipment you use the better. Depend on bodyweight exercises and free weight exercises to get the results you want.
Train hard and smart!
