Review Summary
The Ab Roller is an inexpensive device similar to many on the market that reduces the strain of abdominal exercises by supporting the upper body. It is inexpensive and most effective for people just beginning an exercise program.
Product at a Glance
The Ab Roller is a simple device that the customer must assemble at home. It is essentially a curved metal piece that attaches to a head rest, allowing the exercises to rock back and forth from a position on the floor. The headrest has a “pro assist spring” that can, optionally, provide a gentle boost.
Product in Focus
The simplicity of design means that this product has only one purpose, to exercise abdominal muscles. Because of the rocking motion and the headrest, there is no strain on the head or neck and thus the abs, and not the neck muscles, perform the work. The rocker system makes repetition simple, and the spring on the headrest can provide an extra boost. It is used while lying on the floor, preferably on a carpeted area or an exercise mat.
Lifestyle
The ease with which one can do crunches on this machine makes it popular with beginning exercisers and those who have allowed themselves to lose their muscle tone. This is an inexpensive machine; a “starter kit” that includes the machine, a diet plan and a workout guide sell online for $19.95 plus shipping and handling, which makes this one of the least expensive machines on the market. Users who have posted about this product are happy with the results, but some point out that it is most useful for beginners and its effectiveness lessens as users become stronger. The price may be right for one who needs an assist to get their abdominal tone and strength back.
Positives
· Inexpensive
· Effective for beginners
· No extraneous muscle strain
· Available online
Negatives
· Must be assembled
· Can become too easy for experienced exercisers
· May not benefit most people who exercise regularly
Final Thoughts
As most beginners find out, one of the hazards of doing abdominal crunches is straining the neck and back muscles instead of using the abdominals. The Ab Roller potentially eliminates this problem and may makes abdominal exercises safe and reasonably comfortable, especially for those just beginning a fitness program.
