Ab Slings

[BulldogMomma]

Has anyone used ab slings for hanging knee/leg raises? Are they comfortable to use? I was thinking of getting a set, but before I spend the money I'd like to hear some opinions on them.

Are they the same thing as Ab Straps? I used Ab Straps at the gym and they are the best thing I ever did for abs...but also the worst DOMS I ever did for abs

Colleen,

Here's a website that shows what they look like:

I'm just wondering if they would be comfortable or make your arms hurt. I have trouble just hanging from chin-up bars and thought maybe these would be a better option?

Yep, same things. They didn't hurt my arms as we didn't (or weren't able to!) do many reps at a time. You might need a partner to spot you at first though as you need to keep from swinging.

It is an EXCELLENT workout!
