J - not everyone has abs of steel like you do. For those who haven't met V-Tec, he works as a part male model / gigilo... LOL!

but three minutes a day and you will be bouncing bullets off your abs of steel! they wouldn't say it if it weren't true, well actually they don't say the bullets bit at all, but if you're silly enough to belevie the 3 minutes a day part, why not go the whole hog!

Though i did buy one of those gyroball things to exercise my arm pump muscles (its a dirtbike riding thing mainly) can't get the fucking thing to keep going with my left hand cos to uncoordinated, which is a prick cos its the clutch hand thats the worst. Anyhu, what I'm saying is it may just be all in the technique.

I figure that must be good.

I can't lift my left arm. Well actually I can't get it do anything, it's a wonder I've let it live with me for this long just lazing around relying on my other arm to do all it's work.

But I digress. I've been a bit lazy of recent but I normally knock out around 300 sit ups and 80 push ups most nights.

You must be so buff. I'm far to lazy to do any of that.

Where do I get me one of these Ab Circle Pro things?

the best part of the infomercial is the chick with the fixed grimace (presumably they've botoxed it into permanence) is on the thing and the left knee goes to the left and the right knee goes to the right, hips go back and forth. If there was a shot in the promo from behind of her doing that I would have bought one by now. Good thing for both of us there isnt.

I'm all about the boxerfit. www.boxerfit.co.nz All you christchurchians come along. Thursday nights is good.

maybe you're onto something there, forget the ab rotator, and start doing workouts in pairs, if you know what I mean! prolly get more than 3 minutes that way too.

It worked for me

I certainly hope not. I expect the conjugal unpleasantness to be over and done with in under two minutes (including cuddles and a post coital cup of tea)

It's funny how they advertise these things as a 'system'. The contraption itself isn't going to give you abs the eating plan and cardio regime they send along with it will.

No point doing crunches when you have a big layer of fat covering your midrift.

There have been a few over the years. Anyone remember the ab-curl-pro? That was not its name but it was a curved bit of plastic that you rocked back and forth on, amazing results if the advertisements were to be believed.

My absolute favourite one EVER is the body blade... ie stick that you can shake and wobble about. Brilliant marketing. Can't remember what it cost, probably never noticed coz I was curled up in the foetal position try to recover from nearly laughing myself to death.

And why not?

I'm 130KG, fat as fuck, don't give a shit about the vanity bullshit, and my gut muscles are getting stronger all the time, resulting in an increase in overall strength.
