Body By Jake The Solution Ab Machine

I am super excited!!!.... got my body by jake ab machine today and I am looking forword to gettin in shape and a slimmer waste line.Shipping was not a problem and it came on time. There was no damage to equipment inside and all the pieces were there. I really like how they send a dvd that you can workout too as well as a booklet that provides tips for exercise and a diet plan. Setting the machine up took about 30 minutes and the instructional guide is veryy helpful, I like how they go step by step and also provide pictures to show where parts go. In terms of setting up the machine my advice would be to be patient, take your time and just read the instructional guide word for word. I also like how they have a sheet where you can track your success and write down your improvements day by day. I have a stomach!! and I am just fed up of sitting dwn and seeing this big roll in front of me so I am willing to give this machine a try, it looks good and I alot of positive and successfull feed back on this machine so I will continue. I tried it after I set it up and i felt the burn as quick as that and i was tired!! lol by the time i was done going along with the dvd but it was alll goood... so I will keep you guys posted and hopfully have sme good results.

It's an ab machine. No gimmicks. It has sturdy construction and is well made. You sit and as you pull down on the overhead handles, as seen in the photo, the footrest comes up, forcing you to lift your legs. If you don't, then your arms have to PULL them up, which is nearly impossible. Since you're working yours abs, you'll definitely be pulling your legs up. The chair swivels, so you can work your obliques, though in my opinion, there are better ways to do that than with this machine. Overall, a good ab workout if you do about 100 crunches per session. Any less and I don't think you'll get much benefit. BTW: Assembly time is about 30 minutes, and all the tools are included, although if you own a socket wrench kit it will go much faster.

This is a great piece of home gym equipment. Takes about 20 minutes to put together. Well made and sturdy. I am 6'0" tall so I have to place my hands futher back on the drop down bars for a total core workout. After about 20 seconds you will start to feel the burn. After two minutes, you can really feel the burn (in a very good way)! I have now worked up to about 41/2 minutes every morning first thing after waking up. You WILL get the results that you are looking for if you use this equipment properly and daily. Watching the video is a must (first step). If you follow the directions, you WILL start seeing results in the very first week. Body by Jake does it again!

I hope I am using is correctly. Just want to be sure the abs are being worked as they should. I have not given it enough time tosee if its working but it sure pulls my arms and seems to be forcing my abs to work Will tell you more after I have used it regularlyand see results. I truly believe it is going to help me trim my waist and also strengthen core.

This seems to be reducing my waistline - I do 2 minutes in the morning - 2 minutes in the afternoon and 2 minutes in the evening. That coupled with planks - a pretty healthy diet and other area specific workouts and some cardio (mainly swimming) I expect to look like Mario Lopez in a few weeks. That said, my friend has the same machine, uses it for 1 minute a day and eats burgers and pizzas - unfortunately (for him) he looks like George Lopez. My wife, who is very lazy uses this machine also, but just to hang her clothes one.

This is a great machine especially for the upper body. I like the low setting. I just want to tone. There are 5 settings. My husband likes the higer setting of course. We had one before but couldn't take it with us when we moved. This was the best price I found on this machine and delivery was very fast.

If you are overweight don't even think about it. Oh, and you'll need plenty of upper boody strenght too. This is a terrible contraption!!!!!I spent 8 years in the Army and the only Ab solution is the floor. This mechanical nightmare isn't foroverweight people or any other person. If you want something to do for the heck of it and you got money to waste then try it, I donated mine to Goodwill.

It came quickly, but the box was very damaged. The product itself, was pretty simple to put together but is not very sturdy when in use. The seat is also flimsy. Hopefully it will do the job!
