For each exercise, the targeted muscle groups are listed.

SmithShaper ASR abd SQUATX exercises can be easily customized by your fitness level. For example, beginners may find it difficult to perform an abdominal roll-out with arms fully extended. In order for a beginner to build up to an advanced ab-roll, the beginner or intermediate user can simply place their forearms on top of the device when performing the Ab-roll exercise. You will be surprised how many repetitions you can achieve in this manner. All the while, strengthening your core and abs!

Advanced users, on the other hand, can place free weights on top of the flat surface of the Ab Squat Rider.

The same holds true for many of the other SmithShaper exercses. As another example, an advanced user may consider doing single leg SmithShaper Power squats or SmithShaper Squats using dumbbells, a medicine ball or sand bags for added resistance. Since you can wear the Ab Squat Rider on your back when doing Power Squats, your hands are free.

It's time for a change isn't it?  Nothing comes easy but you've faced harder challenges before and have overcome. This time, the focus is entirely on you and what you can do for yourself. Through a renewed focus on healthy daily nutrition and dedicated use of either the SmithShaper® ASR or the SmithShaper® SQUATX® exerciser, you can transform your body in weeks. 

Twenty minutes every other day on these rolling multipurpose exercisers and you will begin to feel better and improve your appearance.  Integrate these devices in creative ways in your tabata routines or HIIT (High Intensity Interval training) to ensure your workout routine is always fresh.  

When it comes to shaping and sculpting, there's nothing more handy than the SQUATX or ASR because you simply pull it out of your drawer and immediately begin targeting your legs, butt and waist. For example, you can perform far more squat repetitions (single leg or dual leg) using / wearing these SmithShaper solutions compared to doing any other type of squat. This is because with our patented design, it's easier to maintain proper squat form. Not to mention, a SmithShaper power squat is much less likely to result in lower back or knee pain than a traditional stand alone squat or a squat using bulky equipment.

A side benefit of strengthening the muscles in your legs and butt is that these muscle groups are large. The larger the muscle, the more calories are consumed by them. In other words, working on your legs and glutei will enhance your overall metabolism and enable you lose weight as you trim inches.

Talk to your Physical Therapist or Doctor about integrating SmithShaper® multipurpose exercisers in your physical therapy treatment. SmithShaper exercises can help increase range of motion, mobility and strength when recovering from injury or in post surgery scenarios related to feet, ankles, knees, elbows and shoulders. Always consult with your doctor before beginning any new exercise program or physical therapy treatment.

Ankle, knee, elbow and shoulder injuries are amongst the most common injuries the typical athlete will encounter on their journey. The best way to avoid injuries is to ensure the muscles and ligaments supporting critical joints remain strong. Still, injuries happen and unfortunately sometimes surgical repair may be required. Regardless of the injury to the affected joint, your Physician or Physical Therapist will recommend a course of treatment for you. 

Once you get to the stage where your medical professional advises that you can begin to strengthen the injured joint's supporting muscles, consider using a SmithShaper® ASR or SQUATX Multipurpose Exerciser. Ask your Doctor or Physical Therapist how you can integrate the selected device into your recovery. For example, performing  SmithShaper rolling wall squats alone is a great way to regain strength in your quadriceps and hamstrings and better protect your knees. It also helps to increase the injured joint's range of motion while simultaneously enhancing your mobility.  Before you know it you will be back to doing what you love to do.

The SmithShaper® Ab Squat Rider is the world's only wearable workout device for perfect posture squats. Squats are the best exercise to strengthen and sculpt lower-body muscles including gluteus (butt muscles) and leg muscles. The Ab Squat Rider rolls against a wall making it easy to use and ideal for targeting quadriceps, hamstrings and gluteus muscles. 

During the SmithShaper Power Squat exercise, the action of the Ab Squat Rider rolling against the wall reduces the load upon the knees. The result is that FAR MORE REPS are possible compared to the same person doing regular squats. SmithShaper “Power Squats” are also safer than regular squats, which can lead to back & knee injuries due to bad form which can occur with fatique. The Ab Squat Rider helps ensure the user remains in good "perfect posture" squat from because the wheels of the device must be engaged against the wall in order to roll. This alignment of the spine ensures the shoulders remain behind the knees. 

Beginners can TRULY & EASILY carve six pack abs. This is because ones forearms can be used when doing AB ROLLS on the Ab Squat Roller and the SQUATX. This isn't very feasible on any other type of single or dual-wheel ab roller, ab wheel, etc.  With the SQUATX / ASR  a strong core or strong shoulders are NOT REQUIRED to immediately start doing ab roll-outs to shape & carve your abs / abdominal muscles.

Beginners will find that it's not only easy to perform the ab roll (abdominal roll-out) exercise on the SQUATX / ASR,  they will also find that their abs are burning immediately afterwards. The only difficulty is working through the ab soreness if you attempt abdominal roll-outs on consecutive days. However, this will immediately help you to realize what we are saying is real. That you can indeed obtain six pack abs by doing ab rolls regularly on the Ab Squat Rider.

As your core and shoulders becomes stronger you can eventually progress to doing ab rolls with only hands on the device and straight arms. You can then alternate between the two methods.  What's great is that even advanced users find that ab roll-outs using forearms provide almost the exact same benefit.  Please share this fact with your friends as well as those who always found it too much of a challenge to use an ab wheel.

Of course, it's imperative that to make your washboard abs dreams come true, that you also eat healthy and avoid excess calories.

Unfortunately, various contagious illnesses continue to spread within our population, especially during the winter months.  For this reason, it's wise to workout alone or outdoors when flu and cold season is upon us.

With the SQUATX and ASR exercisers you can perform 42 and 25 exercises respectively. This versatility keeps it fun and provides plenty of exercise choices.  You can perform three or four different SmithShaper exercises each day as you integrate them into your personal tabata, cross-fit or High Intensity Interval Workout (HIIT).
