The Absolo Core Intensive Training System promises to be as fun as it is transformative. Ultra Fit’s 2008 Home Gym Guide said: “If you have ever seen one of these, the first thing you want to do is jump in and have a go. After about 20 seconds you realize that this little beauty gives one serious abdominal and core workout.” Manufacturer Eye Fitness saw that many youths were shunning exercise equipment because it didn’t seem very “fun,” so they put a stop to that with their innovative line of products, from the Absolo Core to the Trixter bike.
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 can’t do all the work for you. Some people mistakenly believe that buying an ab machine can get rid of their guts or love handles miraculously. The manufacturers plainly admit on their site, “Science tells us that it is impossible to ‘spot reduce’ and that excess body fat is lost only by increasing physical activity, decreasing caloric intake, or both. However, Absolo Core Intensive Training will burn calories while strengthening the abdominal muscle group, which will help hold the ‘gut’ in!” When combined with proper nutrition, cardio and weights, this system can work wonders at keeping your routine varied.
