Amazon.com Product Description:
The Ab Lounge XL Abdominal Exerciser is the newest model of the revolutionary abdominal fitness trainers made by Fitness Quest. Enjoy a full range of motion without straining your head, neck, and back, as the Lounge XL allows you to exercise off the floor. Maintain better form, and efficiency of movement than you could with traditional bent-knee crunches as you tone your upper and lower abdominals, and watch your love handles melt away. Full recline option provides over 180 degrees of motion, allowing you to release stress that has built up in your spine and neck muscles. The 'jackknife' movement focuses the workout strictly on your core stomach and back muscles, for a safe, efficient, and targeted workout.

The Ab Lounge XL Abdominal Exerciser takes abdominal exercise chairs to a new level of comfort. The cool, breathable mesh seat, and durable rolled steel frame can support up to 275 pounds. Padded ISO-grip handles are comfortable to hold, and make the jackknife motion easier, particularly for beginners. Adjustable foot pedals easily accommodate any height from 4 feet, 5 inches and up. The new quick-release folding mechanism, with a lever not a hinge, make the chair a snap to fold- just pull back on the lever and fold. Additionally, the Lounge comes equipped with a focus strap, allowing you to perform the advanced jackknife movement by simply extending your legs. Developing your core strength will help you look better, feel better, and perform better in everyday life and play.

At whatever your level of fitness, abdominal exercise chairs allow you to strengthen your core abdominal and back muscles with a full range of motion and improved form. Abdominal exercise chairs help you maintain proper alignment, and efficiency of movement by supporting your head, neck, and back. If you have trouble getting down on the floor, and find traditional stomach crunches awkward and uncomfortable, abdominal exercise chairs make exercising your core accessible. Additionally, you can rest comfortably between repetitions, watch TV, or just lounge on the chair.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - good for people who can't do conventional crunches
I have cervical arthritis and a few disk bulges in my neck. In a very short time span, I went from being an exercise fanatic with a 6 pack any younger person would envy to not being able to exercise. Thanks to a good therapist and dr., I am on the road to exercising again. But, I have to be careful of anything that puts strain on my neck. I probably spent a good two months looking at different ab exercisers before finally deciding on the Ab Lounge XL. I admit, it was hard for me to buy this type ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Ab Loung XL Review
I found the AbLounge XL relatively simple to put together. I am someone who abhors the words "some assembly required" but the instructions were simple to follow. You really need to have a space where this can be utilized. Not good for cramped spaces or close quarters. I would keep pets and children away from this while it is in use. The dangers to small fingers and pet paws are obvious and there are numerous warnings and stickers posted to remind the adult user. I am a short person and the adjustable ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - better than expected
I was having some minor back pain due to lack of exercise and extra weight, with this machine and a few minutes a day of simple exercises the back pain is gone. Of course I cannot claim that my muscles are bigger but I feel better. Your mileage may vary.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best purchase I've made in a long time
The Ab Lounger is a great! Even if you don't do all the exercises, it does wonderful things for your back. You get long stretches like Pilates and feel longer and leaner after a session. I have it in front of the TV and it's nothing to watch TV and end up doing 100 crunches. It really is a great buy and the service from Amazon was excellent.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - AB Lounge XL
I owned several of these type machines but like this one the best. It is very well made easy to set up, use and store. I leave it set up in my office as an ergo chair for reflection which makes it easy to get in a few sets whenever I have a little down time. I am eating right and walking a lot daily. I happend to look down at my midsection this morning and saw something I never thought I would see...a slight six pack! Just Do It!
