The legless, lawn chair-sized Ab Rocket pivots with your body as you move forward or backward in a crunching motion or as you twist and turn in the padded swivel seat.

Order yours today! Ab Rocket twister abdominal exercise chair.

Amazon.com

Offering a revolutionary way to work your lower abs, upper abs, and obliques, the Ab Rocket will give you the body you've always wanted. The Ab Rocket looks somewhat like a new age chair, but with massage rollers across the head and back rather than a traditional backrest. The similarities end there, however, as the Ab Rocket is designed to pivot with your body as you move forward and backward in a crunching motion, or twist and turn with your body as you maneuver the padded swivel seat. With the Ab Rocket, a mere five minutes per day of traditional crunches, reverse crunches, and oblique exercises can turn your abs from flab to fab. The Ab Rocket offers three resistance levels, giving you the perfect amount of pushback for a mild or serious challenge. And thanks to the built-in cushion supports and massage rollers, you won't experience neck and back pain during the workout.

As a bonus, the Ab Rocket comes with a free fat-blasting system, which includes a low-calorie meal plan filled with easy-to-make, mouthwatering low-calorie recipes and four fat-blasting DVD workouts to help melt away the pounds. The Ab Rocket, which folds away for easy storage, weighs only 10 pounds and comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

I love it.
It could have a bit more resistance.. kinda hurts the tail bone and the back can irrate your back if you're shirtless and it's hot... I was super excited to receive it.. the side bolt broke off.. still works.. but I could just use the floor. Only had it for about a month. Broke last weeks after buying it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good enough for me!
Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2014

Received this in decent amount of time. I like equipment that is easy to put together. On a scale from easy to hard I'd say this was a medium to put together. Could use more details in directions. I figured it out though. I don't recommend this for weight lifters, but if u want to get in shape it's good. The bands are just ok for resistance which is fine for me. I'll have to watch the DVD for info about sitting on it correctly. I definitely will use it though. So far I'm happy with it and can already feel it in abs. This does hurt my lower back with lowest weight. Don't have back medical issues. It doesn't support lower back very well. Simple solution I moved the big round cushion up. Helps a lot more.

1.0 out of 5 stars very deceiving advertisement
Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2012

The advertisement for the ab rocker was very deceiving. If you were about 10 years old this would be a good toy to play with or for someone less than 5 feet tall. There is no way to see any results with this product because the springs do not have enough tension to show results of any kind. VERY VERY BAD IDEA TO PURCHASE. A total waste of money. Please look for other options if you are thinking about buying this. Not even a good idea if it is on sale for 5.00, because it is absolutely useless....

3.0 out of 5 stars A bit short but fixable
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2012
Verified Purchase
My husband's spine is fused because of a type of arthritis he has which makes exercising the stomach muscles very difficult. We ordered this hoping it would be a solution. He needs support right up to his neck which is also fused. As it arrived the back was not long enough for his 5'10". So he added some copper piping to extend the back and cut some of the swimming pool foam rods to fit between the extensions. He now is able to use it and is feeling good about gradually increasing the number of reps each day. Other than his core his muscles are in good shape meaning his legs and arms.

I read complaints about the padding, but it seems fine to us. If you are seriously overweight I imagine the seat padding would be compressed and not feel substantial. Also, about getting up and down off the floor: that sounds more like an issue with leg and hip strength and flexibility. Maybe those folks need additional help. It does what it says it does for those around 5foot 4inches. For anyone much taller, I think you will need to modify or go without the neck support. I am not a professional exercise consultant so I do not know what the consequences of going without the neck support.

Finally, it works to increase the muscles. Getting rid of the fat is a second issue which will need to be addressed through diet. If you want to see the muscles you can't have a thick layer of fat on top of them.

Exercise equipment seems pricey, so this is probably okay price-wise for what it is and does.

We both use it almost daily and are benefiting from it.

I have used it three times this week so far since receiving it Tuesday 31st. Hard at 1st but you MUST follow instructions on CD & keep your head on the headrest. The guy on cd isnt doing it right so ignore him!!!! Dont use it on carpet. Must be on hard surface. I started out with the blue spring & beginer level & did it 1 1/2 times & yes I was sore Wed. morning so skipped Wed. & did same thing on Thurs. & yes a little more sore & also had done 20 reps extra of just abdominal crunches. Just got done today, friday, with doing beginers 2 times. The twisting reps are really hard for me but probably just because I am over overweight!!! IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON FORM!!!! Be patient & you will get it right. Good luck !!!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Unstable Base Aggravates Mediocre Back Support. The Key is to Stabilize the Base!
Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2011
Verified Purchase
A few simple design changes would have resulted in a very good product. The first problem is that the stabilizing brace that swings out backwards from under the seat to keep the ART (Ab Rocket Twister) from tipping backwards does NOT create a stable and solid base. The ART still wobbles and tips backward so that the front bar raises as much as 1" off the floor.

The second problem is the back support...or relative lack thereof. In the video (and in the picture used by Amazon), the back support is vertical or nearly so. With the assembled ART, the back support is nowhere near vertical, is at more like a 70 degree angle and doesn't make good contact with your lower back. I agree with the other reviewers that the the yellow and blue tension springs are way too weak.

When the unstable base is combined with the mediocre back support, using the ART can aggravate or even create back problems if you are not careful. This also means that the assisted crunches are more about working your arm strength than they are about working your abs. I think that I can minimize the first design problem by mounting the ART on a plywood base and I believe that if the base is stable and solid, it will minimize the back support issue. The ART can work right if it isn't wobbling and feeling like it is about to tip backwards when you use it and I see the potential for a decent product if it can be stabilized.

One other design feature is important to mention, but it is not an issue for me. As I am 5'6" tall, the head and neck rest can be adjusted to support my head and neck. However, if you are much taller (2-3"), I don't think that you will get the proper head and neck support. The back support should be able to accommodate a taller person. In my opinion, the ART does not accommodate a person who is more than 5'10" tall.

UPDATE - December 15, 2011: The unstable base of the ART can be stabilized. I mounted my ART on a 5/8" thick piece of 2'x4" plywood that I later cut down to size (2'x 2.5'-3') using my table saw. I used 3/4" Oatey plastic clamps that I got from Home Depot's plumbing department and used 2 of them to clamp down each bar of the hand grips (4 clamps on each side of the ART seat for 8 clamps total). 3/4" is the exact right size and clamps the bars securely to the plywood base. Using plastic clamps doesn't mar the finish on the ART. I used #6 1/2" screws. The result was a solid and stable base for the ART.

My stabilized ART is much better now. The difference is like night and day. As I suspected, with the forward-backward wobble factor gone, the back support is better and you are using your abs more (as opposed to arms) to perform assisted crunches, as well as the twisting exercises. After I did a workout along with the trainer on the DVD, my reaction was "Now we've got something that can work!"

I felt the result of a good workout exactly where I wanted it...in my abs and obliques. I look forward to using the ART now.

Funciona muy bien, pero las resistencias no tienen mucha diferencia entre una y otra. La compré para mi suegra y aún con la resistencia más “dura” le costó trabajo utilizarla. Tal vez no es para principiantes, pero para intermedios funcione bien. El DVD es bastante BÁSICO, y no tiene mucho que aportar. Fácil de armar y utilizar. En cuanto a resultados; no tengo idea de si realmente funciona para lo que dice en el tiempo que dice.
