Do ab toners work?

Answer by  Abaddon (82)

Anything that exercises your abdominal muscles and causes them to grow can improve the appearance of abdominal tone and definition, but only if your body fat percentage is sufficiently low.

They do, a little. Although, nothing beats a good old fashion crunch or plank. you will get much better results from doing old fashion core work than you will from using an ab toner.

Yes but nothing is better than a complete sit-up. Reset to flat back on ground and come up FLAT. Don't curl. Rise until chest hits knees.

While it is not necessary for most people to use an ab toner like those advertised on late night tv, it can help improve form. However, floor exercises like regular and reverse abdominal crunches and extended leg sit ups are very effective at getting results and require no special exercise equipment.
