Why does The AB-DOer feel like it doesn’t provide enough resistance?
The AB-DOer® is truly a revolutionary design, and it goes against all other “ab-conscious” technology. Most people, and their trainers, believe that resistance is the key to chopping fat off the body. But we all know that resistance makes muscles bigger. John Abdo wanted to invent a machine that offers an aerobic challenge to the entire midsection that includes the abdominals, obliques and back region without making the muscles bigger. Even standard crunches, with just your own bodyweight, is a resistance exercise because you are lifting the weight of your head, chest, rib cage, shoulders, back and arms—this is a huge load to place onto your abs. And when you place a load onto any muscle it inevitably will enlarge. Trust that The AB-DOer’s “low-resistance” factor will give you the results you want. If you want bigger abs then do crunches or use those weighted ab machines. But if you want to condense and reduce your entire midsection then avoid body “building” techniques by incorporatin
