Abdominal Wheel (AB Roller Wheel)

Exercising with an abdominal wheel is a classic abdominal exercise that provides an intense burning workout for the abdominal muscles. They can also be called training wheels, AB rollers or AB wheels.

What is an ab wheel?

It’s a simple exercise tool that can be used at home, at the gym or even taken on a trip as it’s small and handy. It consists of a bar and one or two wheels in the middle. The bar becomes like a handle at each end that you hold.

How to use an exercise wheel?

It is relatively easy to use these exercise wheels for abdominal training. Get on your knees and grip the wheel with both hands. Then roll the wheel forward until your arms are fully extended and your stomach is almost touching the ground. Then roll back to the starting position. To make it more comfortable for your knees, you can use an exercise mat underneath, or alternatively a knee pad provided.

If you want extra strain and more challenge, you can stand on your toes as you roll out the wheel. It is important to maintain good form throughout the movement, so you should not arch your back.

You can also wear a weight vest to make it even more intense and challenging. Check out our full range of weight vests here.

Benefits

If you want to work out at home, you’ll go far with regular sit-ups. But variety is the key, and it’s good to have an ab wheel on hand to activate your abs in a different way.

Another great advantage of an ab wheel is that it is small and handy. You can keep it on hand at home or take it with you when you travel away.

Best ab wheel to buy

If you are going to buy an ab wheel, you should make sure it is stable, double wheels are an advantage. It’s also very good if it includes a knee pad, otherwise it can put a lot of wear and tear on your knees. Furthermore, it should be a good price so you don’t pay unnecessarily much.
