Because of continuous arthritis pain in my lowerback, the Ab Lounge 2 peaked my interest. I got the AL2 as a (requested)gift on 2/18/05, and have been reaping its benefits ever since. I've recommended it to numerous people. Actually,I've steered them to look into the standard AbLounge before making their purchase, only because the smaller AbLounge2 unit does not easily fold away, and the large bar seems as it could be more comfy than the strap on the AL2. Also, my husband, who's just over 6 feet tall, find it too short. I'm 5'3", and it fits me well. In any case, this unit is worth exploring. The excersises provided in the DVD absolutely do work, when you do them correctly. As mentioned in a previous review, form and pace will induce a good burn on all sides. Tons of reps are NOT necessary to see/ feel results. After 5 weeks, I feel NO strain on my back or neck.. ever! The eating plan provided is also very do-able for picky eaters like myself. Simple, easy foods, lots of choices= easy reduction of caloric intake (avg menu combination totals just over 1600 calories)= 10+ lbs lost in 5 weeks. Also a NOTICEABLE shaping & reduction of my midsection, which has never happened in my previous weight loss regiments. I'm now only 50 lbs away from my goal, and I feel the AbLounge 2 and it's eating plan, will be an essential instrument in my reaching this goal- permanently! TRY IT!! if you work it -which is SOOO easy, it will work!!!

We purchased the ab lounge before christmas and we like it. When we can stay motivated enough to use it, it seems to work. After just 10 minutes you can really feel the burn, that is if you do it correctly. If you do not do it right it is a waste of time. If after 5 reps you don't feel it then you need to read the manual again. I know the first full week I used it daily and my abs were very sore and I was losing inches very quickly. I have kinda fallen off using it and now am gaining weight back. Not for long, I am going back to the ab lounge. Crunches kill my back and neck. This product is great. The more often you use it the quicker you see results. My only complaint is that the strap is short. It works fine for me, but my husband can not get even one arm under it. I wish it folded for storage, but the results are worth it. Besides if it is just sitting there where I can see it I am more likely to remember to use it. Out of sight, out of mind. In the middle of the room, shrink the middle of my body!

This product in very nice and I really enjoy using it. It does have a couple set backs, but the good things outway the not so good things about this lounge. I was disappointed that it didn't fold up like I thought it would and the strap over head is short. If you don't have small arms, you may not be able to fit them through it for the jackknife position. Although, I have been using this product for a few weeks now and my abs are strong enough that I don't need to use the strap that much. I feel that my abs are toning up and I have much more strength in my entire body torso. Plus, even my thighs are getting toner. I have found a way to also work my lower body on this thing and it is great! I have back problems and using this product is much better than trying to work my abs on the floor doing regular crunches. I don't have any back pain when I use it or after I use it. I have read that some find that they don't feel a burn, but you have to use it properly or you won't get a burn. One thing is to slow down and stop for a second at the crunch. Slow and controlled movements will give you the burn you want. If you use momentum with lost of reps, you won't have as an effective workout. I give this product four stars and I would say if your thinking of trying it out, go for it! :)

I was upset that the Ab Lounge 2 is not foldable as stated in the commercials. It was one of the only reasons I bought it. So I set it up in my living room, and it was nice. I felt the burn when I used it, but my husband was not too excited about having a big blue contraption in the middle of the living room. So, I had to disassemlbe it, and I have never used it again. I think it's false advertising!

I have the ab lounge 2 and I love it. It gives a good stretch and works the abs. The only thing that I don't like is that it should have had the same bar as the ab lounge, and not the strap, and it does not fold down like the ab lounge.

I bought my AB Lounge, and on the second day I could feel my ABS tighten already, I do them in the morning and at night, and I don't even do other excerises, but this is a very good work out, and I feel that it is already at work, my son loves it too, we are happy and ready to have the best abs ever, stay with it it will pay off.

I bought the Ab Lounge 2 and love the results. I've had a bad back for years after a fall down a flight of stairs. Regular crunches would always throw my back out, but with support of the AB Lounge 2, I can get a good stomach work out which makes my muscles stronger and in turn, actually protects my back. I am disappointed that it does not fold for storage as they claim on the infomercial, but that its helping me achieve fitness without hurting me? I can deal with it staying in place in my back bedroom! Besides, with it set up all the time, it reminds me to work out more! Thanks Ab Lounge 2!

I ordered the ab lounge 2 and have not found it to be quite as spectactular as advertised. It does give you an adiquit ab workout but nothing that can't be obtained with a standard crunch or leg lift. The major drawback i see with it, is that it doesn't fold up quite as well as they say and the hand strap is much smaller than on the model they advertise. I'm not able to even get my arms through it to do one of the exercises on the workout DVD. I'v been trying to return mine and have not been able to contact their customer service department recieving busy signals from their 1-800 customer service number. So if you have a lot of extra cash laying around and want to add a little something to your workout room go for it, if not i'd recomend just sticking to the sit ups.

Iv tried this product for about a 2 weeks or so now, the video instruction isnt that good and conflicts with the workout manual, but as for results, i still have fat, but i see that there is less of it in some areas, since i visiblly see results im guessing its working, sure its not as fast as xenadrine, but it dosent give me extremly painful sideeffects either

Well I'm very disappointed. I cannot tell a thing, cannot feel a thing (burning, etc). I've go to FEEL like I've done something if I have, and this sure isn't cutting it! I'm taking it back to []!!

Gives you a good work-out, easy to do. Advertised as folding for easy storage, but does not unless slightly disassembled. A little discouraging. Also, the wrist strap is way too small to do the "advanced jacknife" as I can't fit my arms through. I will be returning this product to try the regular Ab Lounge. It seems to be a sturdier, more "thought out" product.

I purchased the AB Lounge 2 and am happy with it, however, there was not instructions as to how to fold it for storage or how to adjust the foot rest as shown on the infomercial. I would like to know if I am missing something. I did get the video and the CD.

Purchased Ab Lougner at local store. My family and I have been happy with the workout we have been getting. I am personally unhappy with the fact that it does not fold down very eaily, like they indicate on the commerical.

The product is great, but they Falsely Advertise that it folds for storage. The on-line ads indicate a silver bar between the legs enabling it to fold, and the ads state it folds for easy storage, but we received a solid black non-folding bar for each side. We purchased a second one to see if it had the correct piece, but it did not. It works great, but is now a large item in the way when it is not being used. Very annoying, and falsely advertised.

I purchased my ab lounge 2 from a local retailer. There was no damage. The pull up strap however was way too short. I could barely get one wrist underneath the pull up strap. My unit does not fold as stated on tv unless I partially disassemble the unit. I called customer service and was told I would be receiving a longer pull up strap in 1-2 months. I hope it comes sooner.I would like to use it and post another review.

me and my friends at my work men and women would love to try the ab lounge 2 for a work out at work to try but no one wants to commit to 99.99 dollars unless they know someone they know uses it and it really does work. your company would make a lot of business just by word of mouth. do you sale a lounge 2 at a discount price for a first time user and word of mouth person for your product. please let me know thanks would love to try your product

I tried this product and I wasn't satisfied with it. I need something a little bit more challenging. I think that it wasn't worth the money.

I purchased the Ab lounge 2 in December of 2004. Here it is, February of 2005 and i've lost 6 inches off my waist, and my stomach muscles are very well defined. I have never had any definition to my stomach what so ever, now when I go out I have to show it off! I use it twice a day, 3 times a week and its a great machine, be faithful to it and you'll see results!!!

I have only been using the Ab lounge 2 for 3 days and I can already feel the 'burn' its amazing. I am not a heavy girl, I am actually tiny so i dont want to lose weight I just want to tone up my winter problem areas. I have never been able to find a way to do that beofre summer time, and the Ab lounge i think wil work wonders for this.. I will be posting come summer time to see how i feel about then. I have very severe back problems so crunches on the floor really hurt me and I was only able to do about 3 beofre my back started to give me problems. With the Ab Lounge I was able to use it and do the entire routine each day with out having to stop or even feeling the slightest pain after wards. I love it. And I will for sure be using and recommending this product.
