Why I recommended the ab lounger

Since we now know that crunches are most effect with a small
range of motion using not only this full range but a hyper-extension makes no
sense to me. In fact some will say that the range of motion should not be more
than 30 degrees or so and I would agree with them. The Ab Lounger gives you a
greater range of motion which in my opinion not only is not necessary but I
will say it one more time, hyper-extending can be dangerous.

I am a Personal Trainer. These are My Final Thoughts and why
I recommended it to my friend:

I recommended it to my friend and will recommend it if this is
the only way to get you to do crunches and work your abdominal muscles. I said
many minutes ago that working them works your back. I am not even mentioning
working these muscles from an aesthetic view point- just from a health and
long-term mobility point of view.
