The Ab Circle Pro is an abdominal fitness machine which you can use to target your stomach muscles by rotating your upper body from side to side in a semi-circle. You climb on the machine, place your knees on special pads, hold onto a handle bar and start going from side to side. This position and movement are intended to target your abs.
How well does it work? Does the Ab Circle get rid of belly fat for you?
First thing, nothing gets rid of fat for you. There is no magic pill, belt, machine, or potion that simply makes fat evaporate. You have to work hard to get rid of fat so it's time you realized that.
Second, in regard to the Ab Circle Pro, the answer is yes... and no.
Yes, using this machine does help you get rid of belly fat. But so does every other activity. Even when you sleep your body is burning off calories and using up fat.
What you really want to know is whether this machine somehow makes you lose more belly fat than other workouts and activities.
The answer is that I just can't see how it would do that.
For one, there are more strenuous workouts that you can do that what this machine offers. It has its advantages like being portable, easy to store, and that it fits into most homes pretty conveniently. If you're looking for a home machine, this is an option. However, there isn't anything ultra-special about how this machine works your body. You can do lots of workouts that will burn more fat.
For another, there is nothing about this machine that will magically burn the fat away from your belly. The truth is that stomach exercises as a whole are not the best way to burn off body fat or belly flab. There are two reasons:
1. Targeted exercises do not lead to spot fat reduction. You don't burn arm fat by doing bicep curls, you don't burn leg fat by doing squats, and you don't burn stomach fat by working your abs. All these exercises burn fat but they do so from your entire body, not just the body part they target.
2. Stomach exercises are not the most effective fat burning workouts there are. Multi-jointed strength exercises like squats, lunges, push-ups, dumbbell swings, lat pulldowns, and so on, are usually much more efficient. Since you can't use targeted exercises to burn fat from a chosen body part, why not do these instead of ab exercises, with the Ab Circle or without?
Yes, stomach exercises are important for your health. They help you maintain a proper posture and they also tone your abs so that they show more clearly once the excess fat is burned away. However, they should not be the focus of your workouts. No ab machine alone will get you flat abs or get rid of the belly fat for you. Concentrate more on full body strength exercises and you will get better results.
