Ab Equipment

It seems like more and more day after day, our society becomes just completely obsessed with all manner of gizmos and gadgets. Nowhere is this trend more apparent to even the most casual look than in the realm of ab equipment. Exercise equipment has always been a place that was gadget prone, but much of it has always made sense. Lifting machines are safer than free weights, so you can use them alone, and rowing machines are, of course, an excellent way for anyone to exercise the body. But with all of the ab workout equipment available, none of it is really all that much better than doing good old-fashioned crunches for tightening up the stomach muscles. Whatever they tell you, you really just simply do not need all of that ab equipment when you can do the job just as well on your own.

Now, there is some ab equipment that does make a good bit of sense. Sit up benches, for one example, are just a great idea. They allow you to get the most effective sit up possible, and even to go at a declined angle if you are in for a challenge or something. But all of the more fancy ab equipment designed to help you do what is essentially an easy motion - the crunch - is just silly. You can protect your back by just doing your crunches or leg lifts properly. You do not need any special gear, and all of it will only drain your wallet and crowd your closet. Save the space, and go to a gym, or simply do all of the exercises on your own with your feet tucked under the couch. After all, why would you want to go and make things any more difficult for yourself by getting extra gear, when the basic exercises you can do on your own are so nice and simple. Lets face it - ab equipment is really just a big silly waste of time and money.

If you do want to get your abs in shape, you do not need ab equipment at all. You will do well doing some crunches instead. If you watch TV, you should get up and do 20 crunches during each commercial break. That will get you in really nice shape in no time, without the help of any of the ab equipment out there. Lets face it - you just do not need that junk!
