Summary |
Stomach fat is an issue for many people these days, as are flabby out of shape abs, so it’s no wonder that many individuals are taking a hard look at some of the ab trainers on the market, including the Ab Flex. This is a “hands on” core trainer that’s used to perform stomach fat burning exercises. Interestingly enough, due to their similar names, the Ab Flex is sometimes confused with the Flex Belt, an EMS driven core trainer, but they are very different machines.
That said, the Ab Flex is marketed as being a fast and effective way for users to actually workout their core muscles, using resistance based technology. This developer suggests that this device can deliver users a gym grade core training session in the comfort of their own home. When the Ab Flex was originally released it was sold through the As Seen on TV website, as well as other retail sites, but right now it’s being sold through auction based sites and some third party retailers.

| Qualities |
|
The Ab Flex is a midsized core training device that can easily be positioned in your lap flush against your core. Once in that position, you press on the device so that the resistance travels to the core, ensuring that the muscles contract and release, which is where its core toning abilities come into the picture.
You can perform any one of six core training exercises, all in a seated position, so back and neck health is kept on track while working the abs. If you’ve used the seated ab crunch machine in the gym, you may well notice some similarities between it and this device, they use a similar concept, although the Ab Flex uses resistance based technology that can be used at home. It’s also small and lightweight enough to be easily stored away.

| Price |
|
The Ab Flex’s original list price was $99, but right now it’s available through auction and third party sites, as we mentioned above, for $20 or less.

Many of the sites that carry the Ab Flex provide their customers with information on how to do an effective stomach fat workout using this device. Visitors also learn what to expect in terms of results, and they get a good overview of the features included in its design. But you can also see it being used via posts on YouTube. These kinds of video resources can be really helpful no matter what kind of core trainer you’re researching.

| Final Facts |
|
The Ab Flex was designed to get users up off the floor, so they can have a targeted core training session, which is also back and neck friendly. According to its developer, users can work their upper, middle, and lower core muscles, while also giving their oblique muscles a solid workout, so they prevent or eliminate love handles. More information is available about the Ab Flex and other machines via discussion boards, blogs, and comparison sites.
