Whats an abodomiser? Couldn't even find it using Google. Presume its some sort of contraption for making sit ups "10 times as effective" thats on the tv or something.

What are your goals etc. anyway?

I am not even sure if that is the correct name for it. it is to be found in most gyms. white frame and black head rest.
my aim is to get rid of the beer gut.

All the sit ups in the world won't get rid of a beer gut. Getting rid of the fat on your belly will be mainly down to diet. Sit ups strengthen your abdominal muscles, they don't burn the fat on your belly.

The best way to get rid of that beer gut is to have a good diet, cardio and weights.

Stick up your current diet, weight height, training / working out you do etc. and i'm sure someone will be able to give you some good advice.

Forget all about the abodowhateveritscalled.

Read the stickied threads at the top of the page here for more info. If you do a few searches here you'll find plenty of other people that want to lose the beer gut and the advice they were given.

Its why I came here in the first place. Still have a bit of a belly but my goals changed and thats at the back of the queue

Thats sort of like saying, "I went for a 1mile walk, but was knackered after it, a bike/bus seems a more comfortable way to travel 1mile";)

It is meant to be hard! If I can do 20 reps of an exercise I modify it to make it harder.

Firstly, you can't spot reduce fat, as must as i'd like to be able to

Secondly, more comfortable = less effective

You dont need a piece of equipment to do sit ups. If they are uncomfortable on your head and neck, youre doing them wrong. You could try doing a type of leg lift instead. Check out some different ways of doing them, and always remember your hands, if behind your head, are to support, not pull, and also, you dont need to sit up, to do a sit up. A small lifting movement which hits the right muscles is enough, if done correctly.

But as mentioned, it takes an attack from more angles than one(diet/cardio) to hit a beer belly.
