Spring is coming sooner than you’d think. You are probably thinking about how you can get in shape now for the warmer season. Maybe you are even searching the internet with the hope of finding a great exercise regimen or helpful equipment which might fit your needs.
Looking for the right equipment to lose weight or getting those great abs might be difficult because of the big and confusing variety of training machines offered everywhere.
We take an honest look at a promising exercise equipment called “The Perfect Sit-Up”.
What is “The Perfect Sit-Up”?
This exercise machine is available from a company named Perfect Fitness. It is designed to specifically target your lower abdominals, using a patent pending spring steel back and special leg blades. For about $99 it is also quite affordable compared to many other exercise equipment out there.
What exercises can you do with The Perfect Sit-Up?
The Perfect Sit-Up basically and effectively combines leg lifts with crunches which make this exercise machine so unique. It also equipped with a range motion sensor indicating when you reached the right position while you are doing your exercises. This will always ensure that you are doing the crunches right.
In our test, The Perfect Sit-Up felt overall pretty comfortable and easy to work with. The head rest was very solid and the hand grips felt firm and didn’t get cumbersome even after extended use. We didn’t encounter any problems with the foot clips, even barefoot they were smooth and fit very well and comfortable. The padded back rest cushion just confirmed the overall positive impression we had from that machine.
When it came to the actual exercises, we found most of them pretty effective but had minor problems with others. For example, twisting on The Perfect-Sit-Up felt somewhat awkward due the fact that you are constrained on the machine as opposed to doing such exercises freely without such equipment.
What we liked:
- Combines crunches and leg lifts
- Targets those hard to reach areas
- Easy to set-up and use
- Very good for beginners
Things we did not like:
- Certain exercises can feel awkward
The machine is especially interesting for beginners who look for effective exercises targeting abs and legs at the same time. Overall, the impression was a positive one and we can recommend the Perfect Sit-Up.
