Spring Tummy Trimmer

A spring tummy trimmer is the least intimidating piece of equipment you can own. You sit down, hook your feet in, and pull. Four exercises, a few minutes, and it packs away into a drawer.

How a spring tummy trimmer works

Your feet sit in contoured pedals and your hands hold the bar. The steel coil provides resistance, so every pull works against real tension rather than just your own momentum.

Because you are pulling and bracing at the same time, your abs, arms and chest all work together. It is a sit-up with resistance added, which is exactly what makes it more effective than an unweighted crunch.

What it trains

Abdominals first. Then your arms and chest through the pull, and your hips and thighs through the anchoring position. Four easy exercises cover all of it.

It is a family device rather than a specialist one — it suits men and women, beginners and anyone getting back into training after a break.

Genuinely portable

It is lightweight and compact enough to fit in a briefcase. Use it in the office, at home in front of the television, or take it with you when you travel.

That portability is the entire argument. Equipment you carry with you gets used far more than equipment waiting in a spare room.

Realistic expectations

It strengthens and tones your abs, arms, legs, hips and thighs, and it burns some calories while you do it. What it will not do on its own is remove a layer of fat — that comes from your diet and your overall daily activity.

Use it alongside walking or cycling from our cardio range and the results arrive considerably faster.

A simple routine

Three sets of fifteen pulls, three times a week, is enough to start. Move slowly on the way back rather than letting the coil snap you forward — the controlled return is where most of the work happens.

Price in Kenya

It is KSh 1,200, down from KSh 1,500. For a device that covers abs, arms and legs and fits in a bag, that is very little money.
