Wonder Core Smart Review – Worth Using?

Wonder Core Smart is a piece of exercise equipment that promises to make your sit-ups and crunches more effective than ever before. Here’s our review.

What is Wonder Core Smart?

Wonder Core Smart is a new fitness device that uses a double-resistance system to enhance conventional ab workouts – like sit-ups and crunches.

The device comes in the form of a small padded rest that stands about 12 inches off the ground. You rest your back against the padded rest while working out, helping to add resistance to either of your motions (up and down). As you move up and down, the padded rest moves against you, providing resistance as you go through the motions.

The machine is priced at around $100 and can be used to perform all different types of ab workouts and even some biceps, forearms, and triceps workouts.

Let’s take a closer look at how it works.

How Does Wonder Core Smart Work?

Wonder Core Smart describes itself as “a revolutionary new fitness breakthrough designed to target your entire core”.

While conventional ab workouts only focus on parts of your abs – like your upper, middle, or lower abs or your oblique muscles – Wonder Core Smart takes a different approach and focuses on all of these muscles at the same time

How does Wonder Core Smart do that? As celebrity trainer and product endorser Julie Wiesman explains, “The secret is Wonder Core Smart’s dual-resistance design that works out your abs in both directions.”

So your body has to work harder going down and going up, leading to a more effective workout.

You can adjust resistance on-the-fly using a resistance knob on the corner of the device. You twist that knob, then check as the resistance meter goes up or down.

But it gets better: not only does Wonder Core Smart claim to target your entire core, it claims to target your entire body. There are six additional exercises you can perform with the machine, including exercises that target your legs, arms, and other parts of your body.

The machine folds up to about the size of a shoebox and can be placed anywhere in your home. You can use it anywhere – including in an apartment or condo – without disturbing the people around you.

Some of the recommended workouts include sit-ups/crunches, push-ups, bridges, scissor kicks, forearm/biceps, triceps, ab tucks, and bicycling.

The double resistance feature is a bit misleading. The device provides resistance on the way down, which means you have to push harder when leaning back down on your sit-up. However, it doesn’t provide any resistance during the actual “sitting up” portion of the sit-up (in fact, you could argue that the device pushes with you on the way up, making your workout a little easier). The makers of Wonder Core Smart don’t do a good job of explaining this problem.

Should You Use the Wonder Core Smart to Get 6 Pack Abs?

If you think you can use the Wonder Core Smart to get six pack abs overnight, then you’re wrong. It takes months of exercise and dieting to get six pack abs. Yes, Wonder Core Smart appears to help you along the way – but it still requires dedication to a rigorous training program.

If you’re ready to put in the work, then Wonder Core Smart may be able to help you. But if you want to lazily use the Wonder Core Smart to do sit-ups while sitting in front of the TV every night, then this is probably not the right choice for you.

Nevertheless, Wonder Core Smart is well-reviewed on Amazon and at least some of the reviews appear to be legitimate. At the time of writing, it has an average rating of 4.4 stars out of 5 with 294 reviews. Reviewers typically praise how the product supports your back while doing sit-ups. Many of the appreciative reviewers also seem to be the elderly or those who have suffered from injury.

If you’re looking for a low-impact ab workout that can be done at-home, then the Wonder Core Smart may be the solution you need.
