Question

How effective is the Abrail exercise equipment? Do you recommend it?

Answer

The Abrail is the best ab training system I've ever seen, it will literally melt away fat from your abs in just minutes a day. All it takes is just a few minutes a day, three or four times a week and before you know it you're gonna have ripped six-pack abs that everyone will notice and envy.

What sets the Abrail apart from old fashioned ab machines is the Abrail's revolutionary "Isoglide Technology" that fires your abs in a perfect ab sculpting sequence. Regular crunches and sit-ups can’t target those hard to lose love handles - With AbRail you can focus on those trouble spots while working all other areas of your abs simultaneously.

Holly, the brunette in their website video says, "All I did was use the Abrail for a few minutes a day crunching up and down, working all my areas - the obliques, the front - and it got rid of all this excess fat that I've been struggling to get rid of forever".

Adding to what Holly said, an independent study also concluded that the Abrail is, "significantly better than a standard crunch".

Had you going there didn't I… now here's my real take on the Abrail.

I wouldn't pay $10 for the Abrail, let alone $200 or $300 that I've seen these sold for. There are so many holes in the logic of this machine I don't even know where to start - or end.

First of all, with all due respect to Holly as she seems like a nice gal, what? What on earth are you talking about? The Abrail got rid of excess fat around your stomach? You just used the machine for 90 seconds a day (as the manufacturer claims it's just 30 seconds down the middle… 30 seconds to the right… and 30 seconds to the left and you're done).

Do you realize Holly, that you've just discovered the most amazing exercise known to man that defies all known scientific research done on cellular metabolism? You may want to tell Abrail Fitness LLC to charge 10-20 times the amount they are because they're sitting on a virtual gold mine with their new patented technology!

Second, what independent study? The study was done by who? Where? Using what methods? If the study was so conclusive, you would think that they would post the results front and center on the website and beat their chest about it. Oddly enough there is no mention of it anywhere else but the video and the claim of "significantly better than a crunch" is so vague it can't even be quantified.

It's like saying that, "Peanut Butter Captain Crunch is significantly better than Captain Crunch with Crunchberries". What does that even mean?

I think this comment from a visitor to Infomercial Ratings sums it up best, "I've been using the product (Abrail) faithfully 5 times a week for two months I sometimes double the workout. I find my neck gets tired. I haven't seen any change in my abs but I do feel stronger in the mid section. If I had to do it all over again I would pass on it. I'll assume it's what you eat that will give you the abs you're looking for without purchasing expensive abs machines".

Ding, ding, ding - we have a winner! At least someone has come to this conclusion on their own, too bad it cost them hundreds of bucks to get there.

Will the Abrail make your abs stronger? Yes it will, just as doing any number of ab exercises will.

Will the Abrail "give you lean and sculpted abs fast" and "target those love handles" as the manufacturer claims? No it won't - not unless you get your body fat levels down to 12 - 15% or lower - otherwise you might as well forget it.
