The Most Efficient Way To Strengthen Your Core
By Harrison on Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2016
I had heard some good things about ab wheels so I decided to purchase the Ab Wheel Roller Pro. It was reasonably priced and had an avalanche of good reviews. This was a rare case of my expectations being absolutely blown away. I thought I was buying a nice piece of exercise equipment, not the very tools used by the gods to sculpt humans out of clay. Okay, I'll reign in the hyperbole and keep it simple. This product will destroy your abs. It will break them down and leave you a quivering mess unable to lift your torso out of bed in the morning. Which is perfect for anyone who actually wants to build up their core strength. No, using the ab wheeler by itself won't "give you abs". You have to get rid of the fat or it won't matter how ripped they are. You will only see a flabby belly. Regardless, the Ab Wheel Roller Pro will give you the best workout for your core, in the shortest amount of time. That is, it is the most efficient way to strengthen your core. When it first I arrived I watched a few YouTube videos to get the technique down and rolled out about 15 reps. I felt a slight burn, but nothing to write home about. I did 10 more. Same story. I put the wheel down and went about my day. That being said, the next morning was confusing to say the least. For some reason I was unable to lift myself out of bed. I would raise my upper body 1/3 of the way and then collapse back into bed. Then I felt it. That sweet sensation that lets you know you're body had been thrashed and was building itself back up again. DOMS. The 25 or so roll-outs I did the day before was enough to destroy my core. I didn't feel it at the time, but it sure did its thing. This is a warning to anyone getting the wheel. GO SLOW. It is so effective it can easily leave you weak and in pain for days on end if not prepared and done correctly. Great product thought. 6/5 stars.

Effective but Recommend a Different Model
By Maria on Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2015
This product definitely accomplishes what it's set out to do and functions well. The Pros: The dual wheels and the space between them creates stability and more of an ease in the motion than you'd have with a single wheeled product, is my impression. The rounded edge wheel allows for additional toning and exercise options to target your sides. I find the ab wheel, in general, easy and fairly fun to use and can definitely a difference in my abdomen even after only a few days of use. You can't see the difference (yet!) but you can feel the tightness within your muscles. You can't spot lose weight so don't expect miracles but if you eat healthy and incorporate cardio, this ab wheel will definitely make a difference and tone your abdomen. The Cons: I would not call the quality great in terms of impression - it just looks like an inexpensive plastic, but it is light as a result. I was disappointed in the look of the quality when it arrived as it was more expensive than other models so I just expected better. The main thing I don't like about this particular wheel, and so will return for a different wheel, is that the handles, though seemingly sturdy, have nubs on a black rubber type of grip. I find this difficult. I don't have workout gloves to wear when I use this and I've seen some ab wheels on Amazon that have neoprene soft handles and so I'm going to try and find one with a dual wheel but neoprene handles. That would be far preferable to nubs pressing on palms! :) You put a lot of pressure on your palms when you do this motion so I can't imagine anyone feels that this model is comfortable for that reason, unless perhaps you are wearing workout gloves at same time. I do think those with back issues would not be able to do this exercise. To sum up, as an exercise tool, I really like this! It's fun and easy to use. I just would recommend a different ab wheel with dual wheels (like that feature) but soft/cushioned neoprene handles.
