Summary |
The Weider Ab Shaper is a steel frame and padded mat set designed to assist exercisers with their ab routine. When you lay on the floor and grip the handles on either side of the Ab Shaper, you are in position to rock yourself up into a sitting position. The headrest on the Weider Ab Shaper is padded to provide you with comfort as well as support when you do your sit ups and crunches.
You can use the Weider Ab Shaper whenever you have the time to exercise, although this product cannot be combined with other activities. While it can be moved from one place to another easily enough, you cannot use Weider Ab Shaper on the go or discreetly like you can some other ab toning products, like The Flex Belt. Getting results from the Ab Shaper will take some focus on your form while performing each move, and it is made only for use with the abs. While The Flex Belt is also designed to be used on the abs, this ab toning belt does the work for you once you have it turned on and programmed, so you can go about your other daily activities while getting in a workout.
