Everlast Standard Duo Exercise Wheel

I've always had problems toning my tummy, but the Ab Wheel has put all that in the past. I've only had it a few weeks and I've noticed a visible difference. The handles could use a bit of cushioning, and it should be noted that you want your knees on something soft, but other than that this is a great product.

It's a fine example of the tried-and-true classic: the ab wheel.

The two plastic wheels slide onto the center of the handle. The handles are made of a hollow steel tube. Slip-on handlebar grips give you a secure hold on the device and serve to hold everything together.

The tread is nothing more than hard plastic, so make sure not to use it on your priceless antique Persian rug unless you want to cut the rug to ribbons.

Ab wheels are one of the best ways to develop a strong core. Follow Everlast's directions -- which teach you how to progress from easy versions of the movement to more difficult ones -- and you'll soon be rolling your way to victory (and beyond)!

I was a bit skeptical when I saw this. I've been bustin' my butt doing crunches and sit-ups and never felt like I was improving. I figured there had to be something better out there. After doing some research, I felt like an ab wheel would probably be best for what I was trying to achieve: stronger ab muscles and a more balanced core.

I looked around this site and a few other ones and I decided this ab wheel was the best one to get based on price and reviews. Reading the reviews, I was concerned about the grip being uncomfortable so I also purchased some weight training gloves that had a fair amount of padding in the palm.

This item arrived about a month ago and I opened it up the same day it arrived. I read the instructions and assembled it and tried it out. I could feel muscles working that I hadn't felt doing sit-ups and crunches. They started burning after the 3rd rep. Definitely a good purchase on my part.

After my first set, I could see why people were complaining about the grips. They made grip-shaped indentations in my hands that left my palms very tender, so I started using the gloves I mentioned earlier and I no longer have that problem. The only pain I feel now is the good kind; mostly in my abs, but also my shoulders.

Overall, I have to say it's hard for me to believe there's a better piece of equipment that works your ab muscles out there. I recommended this product without any reservations other than a good pair of gloves.

For the price I paid it is perfect. It was shipped promptly and the product exceeded my expectations. It was easy to put together, I have no complaints. It is a compact piece of exercise equipment, you can use and store it just about any place.

I bought this product because my PT said I needed to strengthen my core muscles due to a herniated disk that looked like it would require surgery. I bought this and started out very slow no more than 5 a day and I seem to be getting better an I don't think surgery is going to be required I highly recommend this, but start out slow and make sure you do the movements correctly.
