I really think all you need is you own bod and a couple of extra hand weights or plates (for extra weight) I really think your abs are one of the few places on the bod you don't have to have all kinds of gadgets. Of course Suzanne sommers might disagree!(yes I have those too) I quit buying all contraptions except good shoes, good gloves, good deoderant, and good bras!<BR>peace   ps goood gear!||63.22.111.200||reg||

They have a tendency to come/go in the fitness industry.<P>If you've never tried one, can you try one at your gym?  That way you could see if it would work better than anticipated.  Also, you would not have lost anything if you didn't like it.<P>To me, they are a refreshing change from the same ab workout.<P><P>------------------<BR>||128.169.15.228||reg||
