Ab Rocket vs Total Core

I’m seriously considering getting an ab machine at home. I’ve long thought about getting the Ab Rocket, but when I saw one in the mall, it looked cheap to me so I decided against getting one.

Now, I see this Total Core fitness machine being advertised on HSN on tv, so now I want to get this.

I’ve searched on the web for reviews regarding the Total Core machine but I haven’t found any. On the other hand, the Ab Rocket has lots of reviews some of them even on YouTube.

I don’t want to waste money on a machine again that doesn’t work, so I really need to research or at least get some feedback on this one. If anyone has used the Total Core machine, can you please tell me whether you think it works or not?

BTW, the Total Core Fitness machine costs 4,995 pesos, while the AbRocket costs a thousand less, both on HSN. You can get the AbRocket elsewhere for less than 3K, I’m just not sure if those are originals or fakes.

UPDATE:

I’m still waiting for my Total Core delivery. I’m excited to get it (even if I paid almost P500 for delivery), especially the included Hip Hop Abs from Shaun T DVD’s that come free with it. I’ve searched the net and there seems to be a lot of good feedback on this workout DVD.
