One of the hang-ups people have about exercising is that it’s “just not very fun.” Innovative fitness equipment designers are always looking at new ways to change this perception of exercise as drudgery. They know if they can make the workout experience truly fun, then buyers will tell their family and friends — not to mention, stick with their fitness goals and realize the machine’s full potential! The Absolo Core Intensive Training System is one of these revolutionary products aimed at strengthening the core before users realize they’re “working out.”
AbSolo is a super machine. Its full name is The Absolo Core Intensive Training System. Its purpose is to strengthen your abdominal area, back and your oblique muscles, which are the ones that run down the sides of your body. When you twist to toss the ball you will be working those muscles. I feel my entire body working when I used this machine. Your shoulders, biceps, triceps and even your legs come into play. If you lie on a decline bench and put your feet under the holders and do a crunch or sit up, then one of the first places you may feel this is in your quadriceps (upper thighs). Although this machine is designed differently I still feel it in my quads.
The Absolo Core Intensive Training System is designed to be a fun alternative to those boring, tedious crunches we all loathe. This 300-pound apparatus is 7 feet tall by 9 feet long and 2 feet wide. Along with your machine, you’ll get six medicine balls weighing five pounds, seven pounds and nine pounds, as well as a ball catch/return and bounce board. To use Absolo, you sit in the seat with padded backing and adjust it until you feel comfortable. Next, put your feet into the adjustable foot holders. You’ll then begin shooting the medicine balls toward the backboard, much like playing basketball, to get your ab workout. The ball will land behind the vinyl ball catcher and run down the ball chute, where you can grab it and keep going for as long as you’d like.
The Absolo Core Intensive Training System was developed by brothers Joe and Chris Arsenault, who wanted to simulate buddy exercises with a fun new machine. They found the best ab exercises were done sitting across from a partner, leaning back and throwing a medicine ball back and forth. They felt this machine could not only strengthen one’s core, but also the arms, back and heart as well. Typically, these machines were only sold to gyms and fitness centers, but as of 2008 the system is available to the consumer market as well.
The Absolo Core Intensive Training System may not be for everyone. For one, the price tag of $1,500 may be prohibitive for some individuals. Secondly, Absolo should only be used by children who are supervised, elderly patients who have a doctor’s approval and injured patients who have clearance from a licensed physical therapist. People with back or neck injuries should not use the Absolo machine, period. For more information, visit www.bigfitness.com/abcointrsy.html.
