There are many substandard copies of this item on the market which vary greatly in price and quality. The way you can quickly tell is by the strength of the spring inside the unit and the quality of the wheels. As the copies tend to have a spring that has very little strength to it they can break very easily. |
| The AB Slider provides one of the very best exercises for the mid-section of the body. It allows the abdominal to be isolated, causing an effective extension and contraction of the abdominal muscles. | | Whilst this is taking place, you are also toning muscles in your arms, shoulders, back, buttocks and legs. | | The AB Slider has a world wide patent, and is recognised as being one of the best exercise devices for the abdominal muscle group. It has 4 rubber wheels for strength and stability, with a perspex case, enabling you to view the internal workings of the heavy duty spring as you work out. This is a quality piece of equipment which has been designed by fitness professionals to give you years of use. | | The AB-Slider has been tested by 'Stuff Magazine' where it came in the top 5 pieces of exercise equipment for 2001/2002. It was also tested by 'The Sun-Online' where they tested some of the copies which are available. They stated that the copies tested were vastly substandard pieces of equipment that did not work due to lack of spring strength and quality. | | The AB Slider comes complete with a non-slip knee matt and a sheet with 18 different exercises.
