The Domyos Abdo Gain is an original and versatile abdominal device. In addition to straining the abdominals, it creates instability that allows the abdominal strap to work during exercise. Offered in multiple colors, its attractive design and ultra-compact size make it the perfect tool for home use.
DESCRIPTION
We recently heard that Decathlon, under its fitness brand Domyos, is launching a new original tool to strengthen the abs. You should know that we are very fond of innovations and new products. So when the product is more original, it's even better.
Called Abdo Gain, this product caught our attention for several reasons: its design, its versatility and its ergonomics. In this test it is therefore the turn of the Domyos Abdo Gain to be scrutinized by the expert hands of our team.
Description
The Abdo Gain by Domyos, a decathlon fitness brand, is an original and attractive abdominal training device. With its atypical shape, the design is modern and sleek, and the materials decent. You have the choice between 2 shell colors (black or white) to combine with a multitude of fabric colors (black, red, yellow, blue, green…). The device is also very practical due to its size. Ideal for people who want to exercise at home and don't have a lot of space. The device consists of a single piece, a kind of pad with cushion placed on a central ball, which ensures instability of the whole and allows you to work on balance in addition to the abs. The exercises that can be performed on an Abdo Gain are not much different from other sit-up mats. The basic exercise remains the crunches (classic abs) and the device allows them to be performed in appreciable comfort.
The difficulty comes from the fact that the device is unstable. It is therefore necessary, in addition to performing the exercise, to remain in balance. If, however, you want a more intensive training, the Abdo Gain is also suitable. You just need to spice it up by putting your legs in the air, for example. It is also possible to strengthen your abdominal strap by performing core exercises. A manual is supplied with the device, but it is also possible to go to the brand's youtube page to see the exercises that can be performed with this device. Promotional offers when purchasing the Abdo Gain allow you to benefit from sessions with a free coach. Just register (very quick) and choose a session.
The little extra: the Coachin'Card Tonification card
To do more exercises, it is possible to buy the Coachin'Card Tonification card. With the help of an identifier and a password, we can thus use 100% of the capacities of the Abdo Gain and work the belly muscles well.
The Abdo Gain can also be combined with the Abdo Trainer, another domyos fitness product. This combination makes it possible to multiply the exercises. For example, you can assemble the Gain Trainer on the Abdo Gain and perform balance exercises, but there are a multitude of possible combinations.
The Abdo Gain is currently offered at € 19.95 on the Décathlon website .
The product meets expectations: nice, with these multiple colors, not cumbersome, and easy to use by following the video lessons. As for the design, we'll just say it's a beautiful device, especially for people who like clean lines and simplicity.
The Abdo Gain is relatively efficient, simple and pleasant to use. By being rigorous, after two weeks, we begin to feel its effects and by using it regularly we see progress. The variety of exercises that can be performed make it a fairly versatile piece of equipment. In addition, it can be combined with the Gain Trainer to further diversify the exercises. However, the exercises that can be performed on an Abdo Gain are not really different from other abdominal mats. The basic exercise remains the crunches (classic abs) and the device allows them to be performed in appreciable comfort. Its only particularity comes from the fact that you perform the various exercises on an unstable plate. This allows the sheathing of the abdominal strap. Balance can be difficult at first, but with a little practice it shouldn't be more of a problem than that. In terms of efficiency and although the device works well on the muscles of the abdominal belt and especially the rectus abdominis, it does not strengthen the entire abdominal strap, as the sum of traditional abdominal exercises can do.
This product is therefore rather nice but you have to know that to lose centimeters at the waistline, you must have a balanced diet and exercise regularly. Abdominal exercises do not make you lose weight, they can help burn some calories, but their primary function is toning and muscle definition. It will therefore be necessary in addition to doing abs regularly, practicing a sport that requires cardio such as running, cycling or swimming and above all eating healthy. We also regret that the user guide that comes with the device is insufficient and not very detailed. So our advice is to check out the brand's Youtube page to vary the exercises.

BOTTOM LINE
The Abdo Gain is therefore an original, versatile and practical device with an attractive design that allows you to perform abdominals in a comfortable and safe way.However, if your goal is to lose excess fat on the belly, it does not. will unfortunately be of no use. It will only be able to define and tone your abdominals. So if this device due to its originality can help you practice more than a simple fitness mat, so much the better, but the results it will produce will be comparable.
