Summary: Helps me do sit ups again!
Comment: After dislocating three lower back disks over the past 20 years, I pretty much gave up doing sit ups. When I saw this product I thought it would be just like all the others: overpriced, uncomfortable and useless. Guess what ~ I was wrong! I'm using AB ROCKET happily now for one month and have more praise than criticism for it. At just under 5'5" tall, I fit comfortably, however, I could not see a person taller by even three inches getting any benefit out of the neck support. There is no strain on my lower back whatsoever, so the design does what it is supposed to do and I am doing 100 sit ups a day, feeling the results within no time. For me this was the biggest plus since I could not lift my back off the floor for traditional sit ups without the aid of this rocking device. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a basic abdominal workout. My few criticisms were that the three resistance bands were pretty much useless in terms of the lowest being so light it was light having no resistance at all, the middle band not much tighter, and the "hardest" level was just about right. I'd have liked one even harder. The other negative point is that in order to fold the unit for flat storage, you have to unscrew the tension springs, and the plastic caps are not sturdy enough to withstand daily usage. The model in the store already had two broken caps so I'm being extra cautious with mine.
I would NOT shell out the price on tv plus shipping for this, it's just not worth it. But the price here on Amazon is more on target with what a simple at-home machine should cost.

Summary: Resistance
Comment: The Ab Rocket is great in terms of the idea of having the head and neck support. In addition it allows the lower back to avoid excessive strain. However, the resistance for each of the various springs seems to be that same regardless of the color spring used. As noted when viewing the demonstration tape, clearly the springs that are on the model are more resistant as the springs actually cause the ab rocket to pull forward. This is not the case when actually using the springs provided. After a few uses it will be necessary to obtain addtional springs that have a tighter fit thus providing greater resistance.

Summary: Works for Me
Comment: I am a paraplegic and the ab roller has enabled me to do "sit-ups" after 20 years of not being able to use my abdominals. Of course it is taking much longer for me to achieve results, I've definately had major improvements. My posture is better than it has been since I was injured. I'm apparently using back muscles that haven't been used in years. The same goes for the abs, I'm feeling it. My upper back pain has also subsided trememdously as compared to prior use of this product. I would highly recommend this product. Don't expect miracles, but it really does help. Thanks.

Summary: AB Rocket
Comment: Ordered this primarily for my husband. He is happy with it as it does not put stress on his neck where he had surgery 18 months ago. I have also used it and feel it works the muscles needed. I do find that it will go all the way to the floor with our weight but we don't push that far back and then it gives an even greater workout to our ABs.

Summary: Ab-rocket Useless product
Comment: It is a very useless product. The resistance springs are useless. The metal body is weak and bends easily. Can not even get help or replacement parts from the manufacturer. I will never recommend this product to anyone. It is a waste of money to buy this product.
