John Abdo AB-DOer Xtreme

2 stars. Like the machine but had a warranty issue in the first 60 days. Had to pay a processing fee and shipping! Probably is going to cost the company a couple of additional unit sales as a result. Would not by the machine again as result.

I used it for a few days and all I got was a backache! Get an exercise ball and do crunches or the Gaiam ball, or Abdominal straps!

Having owned the original Ab-Doer(until I wore it out), using the 'Extreme' is much more difficult, and far less comfortable. Much harder to use, which also means the desire isn't there. The spring is too stiff, and the handles are way uncomfortable. I've also noticed that this is far harder on the back. Caveat Emptor!!!

when I have this product I am so happy to have a dream work out my abs it look nice an achieving then something goes wrong I felt this is not working for me. I need to do something more exercise, so I go to the gym to do more work out with my abs it work fast than this product. It massage my spine not actually massaging my muscle which is bad for my bones (spine) it hurts. It end up displaying on my living room an I just let my wife use it when she feel like it. It's worthless, the gym gives my abs in shape fast with all the different variety of machine. If you want to focus on your abs just manage your waste not the pounds.

"The Ab-Doer is a piece of junk!" - "I used it a couple times and didn't see ANY results!" Those are just a couple ridiculous reviews I've stumbled across the web when researching the Ab-DOer. I saw so many negative reviews for this product that I almost didn't purchase it, but I gave it a go and I must say I was impressed. It's a GREAT abdominal workout, and considerably reduces the presence of fat around your midsection, but please note: You will NOT get a 6-pack from this product!! If you were expecting to get ripped abs, this isn't the machine for you, at least not by itself. Also, those people making those reviews probably expected to sit on the chair and wiggle their tummies a few times for a couple minutes and that's it to get abs. WRONG! You will NEVER get a 6 pack just by using a machine, unless you have the genetics. You need to watch what you eat. I guarantee you that half of these reviews came from people who eat poorly and probably stop at McDonalds on their way to work... Read more

This machine is fantastic, well built and super awsome. I became the hulk in a few days and every girl wanted me. Let's see how long this ridiculous review remains merely because it's "positive".
