The Abdofit is a machine for strengthening abdominals. It is the latest machine designed for working your abdominals as safely and effectively as possible. Abdofit is a patented machine that enables you to work your abdominals properly whilst protecting your back. These exercises aim to work rectus and oblique muscles. It has been shown that « the more your abdominal belt is used regularly and over time, the more it will tone up ». It is more important to work out regularly than intensely. • Abdofit makes working the abdominals pleasant and easy. It controls the up and down movement of your chest. • Abdofit is effective as it enables you to exercise your abdominals for longer than was previously possible. • Abdofit has been made from a specially designed composite material. Both very solid and flexible, it changes shape under the weight of the user’s chest. This deformation releases the energy stored when raising the chest, we call this « the Abdofit spring effect ». With Abdofit, you will really be able to make the right movements without forcing your neck and back muscles. Your abdominals will be stimulated and strengthened with quickly visible results.
