Customer Review:Champion Barbell MSABWHLX Champion Ab Wheel, Price/each

Great tool for an overall upperbody workout. Take it slow at first, cause you will feel it the next day. I cycle, run, and lift weights almost daily. But I was only able to do 5 wheels the first day I got it, and it felt like my abs were going to rip apart. :) But after just a couple of weeks, I am up to 30 at a time. Love it. I can feel it working shoulders, abs, upper and lower back, biceps, triceps, and lats. Great complement to any workout routine. A good way to "top-off" after lifting weights.

The wheel is very well made. The two interior wheels spin independantly which allows good movement. I thought it was very hard to do. Even my 15 year old son who is in shape found it very challenging. The very first time I used it I put my back out for two weeks! My fault though... I pushed myself too far. I now only use it with "baby" movements. If your back is strong, I would highly recommend it. Plus, you can't beat it for the price!

This product works really well for toning up abs. However, the buyer should be aware that it's very important that they FIRST strengthen their lower back muscles for awhile before using it. I did not and my lower back was in a lot of pain for about two weeks. I have now let it rest and heal and have also been doing weight exercises to strengthen it before using the ab wheel again. Had I know what I would do to my back, I would have definitely done the back exercises first. I'm almost better though and planning on using the ab wheel again. Just as a side note, people had warned me as well that it would be hard on my lower back and I didn't take their advice...

This is a good product for the money. The wheels aren't locked in as tight as they could be, in other words, they slide back and forth as you roll out and back. This can cause them to rub against the sides of your hands, which is no big deal, just a bit annoying. But like I said, for $15 it's still a pretty good product, definitely hits your abs.

This is probably the best Ab roller you can get for this price. But, after using it for a spell, I'd say the Ab roller as a device is overrated. Stick with the classic bicycle crunch. The American Council on Exercise found this exercise produced the greatest amount of electrical activity in the abdominal region (2.5 times more than using an Ab wheel). Happy exercising!

The Ab Wheel is very simple to put together - just attach the wheel to the hand grips. Delivery was quick. Some instructions or use examples would've been nice. But, all-in-all it works for me. :)

i had a baby nearly 7 months ago, so i have been buying ab workout equipment left and right. most of the time i end up returning the equipment because it does not work as promised (the cross crunch, sauna belt pro)the ab wheel was very in expensive and really works! you begin to feel it working immediately. after my first night of using it, i was sore the next day (a good sore, i knew i got a great workout)the only suggestion i have is that you buy a thick pad to put under your knees because using it on the floor really hurt my knees.

I don't know about building six pack I mean personally half of that relies on you genes so if you did not choose your parents well then #@%%^$!! But this device is cheap and very very effective. Before my body got used to the routine I felt the burn. Well worth it and extremely portable

Sometimes the simplest thing can be the best thing in the world. Gee, I wish I came up with this gadget, I would be a millionaire by now. If you want to work your arms, abs, back, just use this EVIL WHEEL everyday. Forget about Sit Ups, and wasting money on BIG HEAVY machine. This Wheel can be used for ANYONE ANY age, ANY sex, and of course at ANY place~! Do not worry, I will come up with some gadget next time and be a millionaire! We all be glad I did it~!!

My wife works out twice a day with the AbWheel. I was doing some yard work last week and the front tire on my wheelbarrow went flat. I had a huge pile of dirt to move, so I took the AbWheel apart and removed the wheel assembly from the handle bar axle. I put the wheel it on my wheelbarrow and it fit perfectly. Now my wife works out with the wheel barrow because she likes the extra weight.

My Dad has had this AbWheel for at least 20 years and he just started using it again at 57. Now he's more ripped then I am and his back, arms, and abs are rock solid. This thing is amazing and simple...the key, start slowly. He challenged me to use it the last time I went to his house, I went up and down twice and felt pretty good about myself (he does 60-100 reps from his knees then another 10 from his toes). The next morning after doing only 2 reps I woke up as sore as if I'd spent the entire day in the gym. I'm buying one of these right now so I can catch up to my Dad. Can't have a 60 year old man looking better than his 20-something son.
