Frequently Asked QuestionsUser Benefits:

  1. How is Absolo training different from other abdominal exercises?
    Absolo Core Intensive Training is the fitness industry's first abdominal exercise system that is both effective and FUN! It replaces the boredom and drudgery of traditional "crunches" or other abdominal machines. The unique combination of crunch movements and the interaction of tossing a medicine ball improves the cardiovascular system, burns calories, increases upper body strength, flexibility, and core strength.

  2. To see significant results, how often should exercisers use the Absolo machine?
    First, you will "feel" the results. New users report being surprised that they felt such a "good ab burn" while having so much fun! Absolo Core Intensive training will provide the best results when integrated with a sound cardiovascular and strength-training program. A well-balanced diet that provides energy and nutrition for optimal health is a must.

  3. Will Absolo training help me get rid of my gut or love handles?
    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, and that will help hold the "gut" in!

  4. 4) What are the other benefits when using the Absolo Core Intensive Training system?
    Its unique design provides an upper body workout, a core (back/hip/stomach) workout, a trunk and spinal flexibility workout, and a terrific cardiovascular workout.
