The Flex Belt® vs. Ab Sculptor

Ab Sculptor is an abdominal exercise device meant to support the conventional abdominal workout effort. Retail presentations of the product suggest AB Sculptor will help consumers go beyond what they would normally do in an ab workout routine. The product is designed to support the neck and prevent back pain and is highlighted as a convenient ab exercise device. The Ab Sculptor is not readily available for purchase on the retail market and has been discontinued on some sites.

The AbSculptor rests on the floor. Users place the head on the padded headrest. The rolled steel bar frame rocks smoothly on the floor while the user grips the handles above the body. The connection between the handles and the headrest ensures that the ab exercise is done in one motion with support.
