Summary |
Smart Abs is the name of an exercise device that is specifically focused on helping users flatten belly muscles and reduce abdominal fat. While there is little information about the device posted online, it seems as though the small, metal frame apparatus uses its curved shape, padded handles, and variable resistance settings to facilitate a crunch like motion. Plus, the Smart Abs sits on the users’ lap, which means that people must be able to use it while sitting down. The Smart Abs device is said to help individuals target all abdominal muscles with its unique design and its easy gliding motion. The device does not seem to have been tested in any third party clinical trials. People who purchase the Smart Abs apparatus may have to perform some light assembly, and when it is up and running, they will need to be motivated to use the device regularly, paying attention to their form while doing so. Those using the Smart Abs device will not go unnoticed, even if the device is small enough to be considered portable. It requires no batteries.

| Information About the Manufacturer |
|
It is not at all clear who makes the Smart Abs apparatus. Few vendors continue to offer information about the Smart Abs device and even one that does, As Seen On TV, no longer sells the device via their website or their toll free customer service line. Satisfaction guarantee and warranty information is both unclear and non applicable at this time.

| Pros |
|
• Smart Abs helps to facilitate abdominal crunches and may, therefore, help people flatten belly regions.
• Smart Abs may make crunches more comprehensively effective.
• Smart Abs is a portable device.
|
| Cons |
|
• Smart Abs is apparently hard to obtain at this time.

• Smart Abs is made by an unknown manufacturer.

| Cost |
|
When they still offered the Smart Abs device, As Seen On TV sold it for about $40 with shipping and handling included. They only ship to the U.S. and Canada, and delivery times are unclear at this time. No bonus materials were included with the Smart Abs except instructional materials. Still, all of this is no longer applicable, since As Seen On TV no longer offers the Smart Abs machine to consumers.
|
| Conclusion |
|
The Smart Abs may or may not still be sold by some online retailers. If it is, some individuals might like to try out the device, especially if their only concern is working to flatten belly muscles. Yet, other consumers who want a product that is proven to offer toning benefits for various sections of the body may pass up the Smart Abs apparatus for another product or program.
