It's been a widespread misconception that ab machines are the ones responsible for a chiseled mid section. It's not the machine nor device that makes your abs look great, it's actually the food!
The explanation goes like this...
You've got one giant layer of fat on your tummy, and you want to get rid of it so that the six pack underneath would surface. TV ads will show you the latest ab-craze and promise that if you buy the product, wihtin a few weeks, your abs will be looking like Schwarzenegger (during his pre-governer years that is).
The turth is, stressing your ab muscles (which is what ab excercise does) does not promote the burning of the fat covering your stomach! No!... Don't even argue. It only helps make the abs harder, or bigger given the correct amounts of micro and macronutrients. The commercials make you believe that spectacular abs are possible with their machines because they want to sell the product! Just imagine, how many of the ab machines or ab rollers shown on TV actually make it to the super markets? Or even the local gym in your neighbourhood? I reckon very very few (if not zero).
Muscle building and Fat Loss are two exclusive things. They canno exist in tandem. One must happen before the other. So, it's total crap the ab machines can make a fat guy look like John Rambo!
To get rid of the FAT convering your mid section( also called love handles if its on the side of the mid section) proper eating habits need to be enforced. This means eating nutrituous foods that are prepared in nutricious ways! That's the whole beginning. Added with cardio excercise, it's going to be a synergistic fat loss phenomena!
But the main thing is still food. Even if you excercise a lot, eating supersized value meals won't help in making those 'bricks' on your tummy show. What you eat will determine what you are, and it's especially true for the abdominal area, where if you eat crap... that's wha it's gonna be... CRAP!
So, make sure, before you even start to think of buying one of those ab devices, get your eating patterns right. Or else, you're in for a brand new towel hanger (that's what happened with my old ab-rocker device).
Cheers!
