Simple and very effective Jan 29, 2009
By Comdet There's not much to this product - it's a length of nylon mesh material backed with padding attached to two padded handles. You put it behind your neck when doing a crunch, and it keeps your neck properly aligned so you avoid neck and shoulder strains.
It works remarkable well. I've always had problems doing crunches since, despite all efforts to the contrary, my neck muscles get involved. I usually end up with a sore neck well before my ab muscles get a good workout. I've been avoiding crunches in favor of other ab routines but you can't beat the basic crunch for really working the abs.
This is an inexpensive, simple solution that works very well. Comfortable to use and the build quality seems adequate - certainly would not stand up to multiple users in a gym, but for one or two users at home it should last a good while.
If you're handy you could probably build one for a bit less than the purchase price. I have zero skills when it comes to sewing, so I just clicked and Amazon got it here ready to use.
