Many people with six pack abs complain of lower back pain, and that is often due to the misbalanced muscles of their well-toned core in comparison to those of their back. To combat this problem trainers get their clients to do crunches and core training as well as work on their obliques and lower back muscles. These are usually a fairly standard set of exercises that can become unchallenging and even boring. With the AbSolo however, routines will be far from boring.
The Ab Solo is unique, totally interactive, fun and effective; it provides the same results as a commercial abdominal trainer with a new take on core training. Using the AbSolo approach, exercisers combine traditional abdominal crunches with medicine ball tosses for a complete body workout.
Target the core, get a good cardiovascular workout and improve muscle coordination on the AbSolo. The combinations performed on the machine allow an exerciser to tone their abdominals while also working their lower back muscles, upper body and obliques. Few commercial abdominal machines can provide any cardiovascular benefits, but the Ab Solo is able to deliver a full range of movement and motion while elevating respiration and working the entire body.
Exercisers take a seat in the specially designed bench and using a set of six progressively weighted medicine balls aim at the targets and make a shot. The throwing and retrieving of the medicine balls is supported by the machine but asks the exerciser to perform repetitive crunches in order to continue making their shots with the medicine balls. The Ab Solo makes a great and challenging game out of traditionally tedious and somewhat boring routine exercises.
The AbSolo is also beneficial to anyone looking to improve their hand-eye coordination, which makes the routines enjoyed on the AbSolo suitable for sports specific training as well. Basketball, baseball and just about any other type of athletes can all benefit from using the Ab Solo equipment.
