The 10 Best Roman Chairs
Editor's Notes
April 04, 2019:
We're big fans of the Marcy JD-3.1, as we feel any machine that makes the exercises comfortable increases the likelihood that you'll stay committed to your workouts. Given that it has a durable steel frame, it's likely to be able to assist you with your core strengthening regimen for years to come.
It may not look terribly stable, but the Stamina X Hyper Bench manages to provide a steady platform for you to do your crunches, back extensions, and more — and then it folds up when you're done. We're not convinced it will last as long as the March JD-3.1, but it's a solid choice, especially for those living in cramped spaces.
The Valor Fitness CB-13 should work well for both newbies and those looking to push themselves to extreme levels. The foot platform gives you a welcome bail-out spot if the exercises get to be too much for you, saving you from potentially collapsing to the floor.
