1) What are Ab Machines?
Ab machines, also known as abdominal exercise machines, are simple little gadgets used to align the body and make performing crunches, sit-ups, leg raises and the like easier. Using an abdominal exercise machine for as little as 3-5 minutes per night (as advertised) will make anyone's abdominal muscles tighter and stronger. However, this is not the same as actually "losing weight", because tightening the abdominal muscles and losing fat are two different things.
2) What are the negative aspects of Ab Machines?
None really, unless these machines are being used by overweight people who are attempting to lose weight and burn fat. Abdominal exercise machines can only help tighten and strengthen the abdominal muscles, but they cannot produce any noticeable weight loss or fat burning.
3) What are the positive aspects of Ab Machines?
They make strengthening and tightening the abdominal muscles much easier and help to reduce the risk of a lower back injury, due to bad form often used during free sit-ups or crunches.
4) How much weight loss can dieters expect each week using Ab Machines?
Zero weight loss can be expected each week using ab machines because they have nothing to do with losing weight.
5) What are some alternatives to Ab Machines?
A good all around nutritional program which is based on an increase in the consumption of "protein" (and a decrease in the consumption of both "fats" and "carbohydrates").
