Amazon.com Product Description
Strengthen your core with the simple, effective, and economical Double Ab Wheel by Ironman. This straightforward, inexpensive, and low-bulk piece of exercise equipment tones and builds strength in your core abdominal and back muscles, as well as your arm and shoulder muscles in one simple exercise. Composed of a sturdy metal post, two rolling wheels for stability, and rubber grips for comfort, the Ab Wheel is easy to disassemble and toss in a suitcase. Unlike bulky ab balls or chairs, the Ab Wheel can be stowed just about anywhere. Its rubber contoured handles provide a comfortable and secure grip and its double wheel provides stability. Extremely durable and smooth rolling, the Ab Wheel strengthens your abdominals from top to bottom as well as your back, arms, and shoulders through one fluid movement.

To use the Ab Wheel, you start out on your knees with one hand on each grip. You then slowly roll the wheel out and away from your knees and continue going forward until your hands are beyond your head without touching the floor. You return to your starting position by pulling in with your abdominal muscles and arching your back. Unlike sit-ups and other targeted abdominal exercises, the Ab Wheel challenges more muscles groups in less time. Users of the Ab Wheel feel the exercise in their chest, upper and lower back, triceps, and biceps as well, improving their allover body strength and alignment, and find that they can achieve exciting results with fewer repetitions than with sit-ups and crunches.

Customer Reviews

Great device, but let's be realistic
I love this Ab Wheel, but some of the reviews here are ridiculous, like when a woman claims it burned off 20 pounds in a month. That's 72,000 calories, or 2400 calories a day. To put that in perspective, you'd have to run 24 miles a day, every day, to take off 20 pounds in a month just through exercise.

Let's say you can use this devise for 3 minutes before you tire out. Heck, give it the benefit of the doubt say 5 minutes. That means it might burn off 50 calories a day. If you did that every day (unlikely, because your abs would want some rest), you could burn off just under half a pound in a month. And that's based on some pretty optimistic assumptions.

So it's not a weight loss device. But it IS a great ab strengthener, better than anything else I've use. It'll tighten up your stomach like crazy, and as long as you do some cardio to burn and keep the fat off, you'll end up with a great, flat, ripped up stomach.

Pretty Simple
Can't really go wrong here. A metal post, some rubber grips, and a couple of wheels. It works great, and was the cheapest I found.

Just a tip, if you've never used it before, don't try to be a tough guy and do a rep from your feet. You may be tough, but you might also hurt your back. Start on your knees until you know for sure you're a tough guy.

Great travel companion
Sturdy, works well, easy to disassemble and toss in a suitcase. The exercise is surprisingly hard, you must have strong abs to begin with, combine this exercise with sit-ups. Must be used on carpet or a towel or something under the knees.
