PRO-FORM Abs Machine With A Workout DVD

By Spiridon Rafter

Did you ever get an abdominal muscle machine that came with lousy instructions and you weren’t quite sure what to do with it? Well, that won’t be a problem with the PRO-FORM Abs machine because you’ll get a Workout DVD that comes with your apparatus to ensure you get the most from your $150 purchase.

You’ll be able to perform three different sculpting, shaping and toning workouts, without having to stop and change the bench settings. By using the back supports, you’ll be able to put less stress on your body and isolate the abdominal muscles you wish to strengthen instead.

When you’re finished with your brief daily workout, you can simply fold your machine up and stash it under the bed or in the closet until next time.

Sturdy And Durable

There aren’t many reviews for this abdominal muscle exercise bench, but there are a few positive remarks to be found. Renee from Tennessee suggests one of the benefits of the PRO-FORM Abs machine is that "it’s much more comfortable than doing crunches on the floor."

As a college student, she says it’s also easy to fold up and store in her apartment, although her roommates often find it and use it too. Judy from New Mexico agrees that she likes the lightweight portability of her bench, although she says the Tony Little Ab Lounge is still her favorite workout bench. Users ranked the construction as "sturdy and durable" as well.

Not Easy To Set Up

It seems there are more cons to PRO-FORM Abs than pros. Users have commented that it’s "uncomfortable," "hard to set up" and "not effective." Reviewer C. Devin from Washington said, "I hoped the abs bench would be a good starting point to build some inner core strength and improve my posture.

Unfortunately... you’d have to be a sumo wrestler to bend this thing forward. For a beginner, this product is not recommended." Gary Rice from Michigan said that he noticed results using this bench 2-3 times a week, although as his abs improved, he found the bench to be inflexible.

"I needed the machine to lay flatter to provide a more difficult exercise," he commented. Will from Michigan said that after a week of use his stomach muscles felt the burn, but so did his back and triceps. "It is painful while I am exercising," he writes.

Package Includes Workout DVD, Nutrition Guide And A Chart Of Exercises

With your machine, you will receive a workout DVD, nutrition guide and a chart of exercises. There are several other accessories you may buy with your PRO-FORM Abs machine.

The $49 "PowerFlex" is a home training kit that comes with ab and core straps, a multi-training door attachment and rotating push up stands. The $24.99 "Total-Body Resistance Kit" comes with a light, medium and heavy resistance band, as well as an instructional guidebook, to help you review your options and strengthen your muscles using weights.

The $34.99 "floor mat" may be a nice addition to put between your back and the spine of your PRO-FORM machine if you find it a little uncomfortable.
