Buy Walking VideosAb Solo: A Cross Between Basketball and Ab Roller
The idea for this Ab Solo is a cross between basketball and an Ab Roller.
I like the idea of the Ab Solo, but only as a way of kicking butt. I don’t really think it’s all that useful for sculpting abdominal muscles, but I’m pretty sure that little LCD display on the side could be used to count how many throws I did and see if I can kick my friend’s butt.
It looks like a game to me, but I can’t play it alone. I need to have a friend to play with me, which means that there needs to be two of those machines for it to be fun. At nearly two thousand bucks a pop, the likeliness of a gym buying two of them is pretty slim, so I can’t even imagine having fun with the Ab Solo.
Here is the official website for Ab Solo:

Holy cow. I lurk here, but this is the first time I’ve commented, and I have to say . . . I would LOVE this. Anything to take my mind off the 5 million crunches. 😛 I’d probably double my crunches (which do not ACTUALLY number 5 million; I’m not THAT cool, LOL). I’d even do it without a friend!
Wonder how long it would take to save 2 grand? Hmmmm . . .

I have to say I love this machine! There’s a couple at the gym I go to, and they’re wonderful! Of course, I say this now, after walking past it everyday for about 3 weeks before getting the nerve up to try it; they do look intimidating to someone who routinely got hit in the head in volleyball games.
