5 Minute Shaper Waist Trainer

It's a little lower to the ground then expected but I love it. I had it assembled in 15 minutes. I got on it it was really easy. Before you know you've done 60. I adjusted it to the hard setting. I have back and knee problems. The knee and arm pads are well padded. The first 2 times my back was a little uncomfortable but your body needs to adjust. Today, I did the exercises and my back isn't hurting. Great product for not laying on the floor to due sit ups. I also have osteoporosis. Great product and easy. Some people are going to think it's too easy but you do it a couple of times you will feel it in your abs.

So far it has been easy to use. It works mainly on the abs and a little on your arms. You get really sore after it so I don’t recommend doing it before work. Great home workout while you watch tv or listen to music. Also great for the price.

It's a sturdy enough machine, and does the job. I can feel the "good" burn in my abs, all the way down to the lowest point of my stomach between my hips, thighs, and somewhat in my calves. I've noticed an uncomfortable tightness in my shoulders, upper back and neck.... leading to an increase in headaches. To be fair, I haven't been to the chiropractor in a year and a half and my spine is not perfectly aligned. This has been a problem area for me. I'm not sure if this machine is making it worse due to design flaw or my muscles just being weak and already out of whack. Love the benefits of the machine, just not sure the negative effects are worth it... Hopefully I can find a more effective way to do it, perhaps working on my back/neck strength for a month or so before using this machine again.Also not thrilled with the lack of instruction. There are basic pictures on this page of possible ways to use it, but no details about the proper method to do each exercise. Nothing in the instruction book, either. No suggested work outs or guidance on correct posture, etc.

This ab waist machine is made of heavy-duty iron, which is very strong and stable. The load capacity is up to 220 lbs., meeting the needs of most people. 4 levels of intensity can be adjusted. Choose from four resistance levels to gradually increase the intensity of your training sessions. This Abdominal Trainer is designed to work your arms, legs and hips. It can be used to train different body parts and is perfect for both men and women. An informative LCD training computer displays your calories burned, time and movements per minute in circles during your workout. Stay focused while exercising. Clear and concise instructions make assembly much easier. And it can be folded when not in use. It can be used not only in the gym, but also at home and in the office.

i was going to give it 4 stars, but for the price..... it's a great ab machine, the counter is off, (counts 2 instead of 1 but no big deal). it could be better(slightly, but again for the price you just cant go wrong. I blast about 100 of these reps a day, and my abs are looking real good already.

After using this product for less than a month the knee pads are wearing out! It does a good job but I am looking for a longtime machine to use everyday! My machine came with a defect in one of the pads. Of course the company are trying to convince me to keep it! They are offering me $40 when I paid $155 I’m dissatisfied.I have come back to edit my original post. The company Super buy returned my money.

This is one of the easiest piece of equipment to assemble! It's easy to fold and put away in a small space. It's not heavy but it's well built and sturdy. My husband tried it too and liked it very much! I didn't realize I had muscles in the locations they are (LOL!) but it gave me a burn, I was sweating and was sore....and that was only three (3) sets of 10 at the lowest (easy) setting. I like that it has a counter and timer which is directly in front of you as you work out. I'm happy with this purchase and I'm looking forward to my future outcome.

This piece was very easy to assemble. It was bery sturdy for its weight limit. A 220 lbs limit for a guy like me at 256 lbs it had no problems holding me. I even bout my kids one.
