Ab Machines

A strong core feels good and looks even better. While there’s no substitute for work in crafting a set of washboard abs, with the right equipment the task is made a little quicker, easier and more enjoyable.

Gym machines for abs come in a number of different forms, though the ultimate goal is always the same: to strengthen and tone the core. Ab benches, hyperextension machines, ab/back machines and glute ham developers are amongst the best gym machines for abs.

Ab Machines FAQS

Which machine burns the most belly fat?

While ab machines help you strengthen, grow and tone your abdominal muscles, they don’t burn much fat. Diet and aerobic exercise are the keys to burning fat, which, if done consistently and correctly, will eventually expose those stunning ab muscles beneath. But it’s also important to note that there’s no effective way to target your fat burn – a good diet and regular exercise can help you to lose body fat in general, you just can’t control precisely where that fat is burned.

Which gym machine is best for the stomach?

They might be relatively simple machines, but ab benches are particularly effective at strengthening and toning the stomach. You turn into your own weight set, as different muscle groups are tasked with lifting and lowering your upper body. Some machines also feature weights, allowing you to add extra intensity to your workout. Comparatively simple equipment, like ab mats and exercise wheels/ab rollers, can be very effective too.

What is the number one best exercise for abs?

If you’re looking to engage your entire core, it’s hard to go past bicycle crunches as the best ab exercise. It works both the abs and obliques, and best of all, you don’t need a single piece of equipment to do it. Other equipment-free exercises like planks, russian twists and basic crunches can also prove very effective.

What is the number one exercise for belly fat?

As mentioned above, it’s important to note that there’s no effective way to target the areas where fat burns – but there are ways to effectively burn fat in general, headlined by cardio and aerobic exercises like running, cycling and rowing, paired with a wholesome, balanced diet.
