How efficient is the abdominal roller?

In fact, the ab wheel is a sports device whose use is somewhat harder to learn. But when done correctly, it is one of the best tools to build strength and stability in the core.

First of all, the device is superior to sit-ups or crunches. Performing exercises with the ab trainer is much harder than the traditional crunch but also more efficient and effective. Additionally, they strengthen the back, something crunches cannot do, helping you avoid back pain and many injuries. This is very important since back injuries are among the most common in gyms.

Having good core strength means you can lift more weight in other exercises involving the core. These include squats, deadlifts, shoulder presses, and bent-over rows.

Since several muscle groups can work simultaneously during training, additional calories are burned.

The training device is small, very light, and easy to transport. You can train at home, in the gym, or in a hotel when you are on vacation. The rubberized wheels also work wonderfully outdoors. So you can carry out your training as challenging as and wherever you want.

As already mentioned, the ab wheel is more suitable for advanced users. Prior core training with planks, push-ups, and sit-ups is recommended.

If you are just starting to train, you should choose easier exercises on your knees and possibly use aids. You can train directly in front of a wall or a heavy object that stops your rolling movement. Our NEOLYMP fitness bands can also be a great help by wrapping them around your legs and holding them in your hands to assist with rolling in.

Once your core has gotten a bit stronger through these exercises, you can gradually experiment. You can hold the wheel at an angle or roll out in an arc to the side instead of straight ahead. The next level would be the roll-out from standing into a full stretch on the floor, then back to standing.

Don't be hard on yourself if it feels a bit bumpy at first – even pros have to get used to the demanding NEOLYMP Ab Wheel. But nothing ventured, nothing gained!
