If you want to strengthen your abs and give yourself a chiselled lean sixpack, look no further than the Ab Rocket. With the innovative Ab Rocket you can blast your way to a perfect stomach and trim waist without risking hurting your back.

The forward-thinking design of the Ab Rocket now makes it unnecessary to struggle with floor crunches in order to achieve toned abdominals, and makes it easy and safe to target every single muscle that makes up your core, while cradling and protecting your back.

Normal ab exercises are traditionally done lying on a mat on your back, which puts your stomach muscles in a stretched-out position. This means they are in their longest and weakest state, and if you work them incorrectly, not only will you make your stomach bulge even more than it would normally do, but you’re a definite risk of hurting your back.
When you analyse the positioning for abdominal crunches, you will see that it is potentially unsafe, as you are asking your abs to lift you up against gravity; most beginners and even some experienced exercisers have not been taught how to properly engage all the stomach muscles to do this exercise, resulting in frequent back injuries.

To work your midsection correctly and get toned abs and a trim waist you have to think about more than just your sixpack, which is at the front of your body from your rib cage down to your pelvis, and is responsible for flexing you forwards. Beneath your sixpack is an even more important band of muscles known as Transversus Abdominis.

This muscular band (TVA) encloses your torso like a corset, and just like a corset, the tighter the TVA, the better the shape of your waist and stomach. People concentrate all their time and effort on working their sixpack; all your sixpack does is bend you forward - exercising your TVA correctly is far more important.

Toning your flank muscles is also essential for that sleek in-and-out silhouette. These are your oblique muscles, both internal and external, and they run at an angle from your lower ribs down to your hips. Their job is to laterally flex and also rotate the torso. They can be hard to isolate for spot toning without putting strain on the muscles near the spine.

The brilliant idea behind the Ab Rocket is to lift you up from the discomfort of lying on the floor and place you comfortably and safely in a position where all your torso muscles can be exercised safely without any danger to your back. The adjustable resistance means you will get a great workout whatever your fitness level.
