Perfect Fitness Crunch
Best thing ever for your abs hands down + TIPS
Last year, I was on a mission to lose weight so I first joined a kickboxing class in April and lost 10 lbs in 2 months. After losing 10 lbs, I felt like I could be motivated to exercise on my own to lose more weight without rejoining the kickboxing class so I bought bunch of weight training gears to exercise and lift weights at home.
I lost 10 more pounds working out at home and gained some muscles but I really wanted to lose my beer belly and trim my waist size. Even though I had a sit up bench and Perfect Ab Carver for many years, I gave up on them after using them for few times. Let's face it, working on your abs is probably the hardest workout of all, especially since you don't see the result for a long time unlike biceps or chest.
I especially hated doing sit ups because I didn't like the strains on my neck and head. Instead of feeling crunches in my stomach, I had more crunchy feeling on my neck when doing sit ups... 😣
I decided to purchase this Perfect Fitness Crunch before giving up on my abs and boy, I was so happy I did.
WHAT I LIKE:
[+] Well packaged and easy to assemble
[+] Rock solid sturdy
[+] Enables easy sit up repetition WITHOUT strains on your neck and head
[+] Strong and breathable mesh screen for supporting your back or head
[+] Flip over for inclined push ups and triceps dips
[+] Color printed instruction sheet with 3 different levels of doing crunches
WHAT I DON'T LIKE:
[-] Depending on where you rest your head, you may feel the metal bar on the top of the mesh, which is very hard and uncomfortable (see picture). This is my only complain about this product. I really wish they had padded or added some sort of cushion in that area.
There are similar products that have cushion or pad to rest your head but they don't have the mesh where you can also rest your back or shoulder. In addition to the mesh screen, this would have been absolutely amazing if it had adjustable head rest cushion for people with different height.
BOTTOM LINE:
This is solid 4.5 out of 5 stars. I would have given 10 stars if it was padded or had cushion around the metal bar above the mesh screen. This is not a deal breaker for me since I can place rolled up towel or something soft there.
This is definitely the best equipment for abs hands down and it really works your abs while making it easy to do crunches without straining your neck and head.
TIPS:
✔️ I wore a waist trimmer belt when using this to force my stomach feel tight and sweat like crazy.
✔️ I also used ankle weight straps to add additional pound or two to up the Expert difficulty.
✔️ I used one of many available iPhone apps for sit ups to guide me with # of sit ups, repetitions and rests in between.
I had to buy entire new wardrobe because I went from waist 36 to 32 last summer.
Please remember that exercise alone is not enough but you must also consume a balanced diet if you really want to lose weight.
In my experience, your body will psychologically reject unhealthy and large amount of food when you start exercising consistently because you start feeling good and proud of your body 💪💪
If you hate doing sit ups but you still want to work on your abs, buy this now and you will thank me.
I highly recommend this without any hesitation. You're welcome and good luck!
