The TRUTH About Ab Wheels

In this video I explain why the truth behind the ab wheel and why it often gets a bad reputation from a lot of fitness influencers and YouTube creators. Honestly, I think it comes down to the name "ab wheel." If this equipment had a more descript name, something like "anterior tension wheel" or something like that, then no one would have any reason to knock it. But instead, I see all these videos saying ab wheels don't give you abs, or "watch out for these ab wheel mistakes!" and it's all a bunch of nonsense if you ask me. I think having an ab roller is a great idea for anyone looking to build a strong core and start grasping the concept of total body tension. Thanks for watching and I hope enjoy the video!

I had a weak core before i started doing ab rollout and boy 3 months later i've done a 180. I don't 6 pack but my back problems are gone and it's been great.

When I was 15 years old I had a Brain abscess and spinal meningitis. I almost died. Surgery had to be done to remove the brain abscess and I was partially paralyzed on the right hand side of my body. I am 55 years of age now. I have used the wheel for over 20 years. I know that I do not always use the wheel correctly because of my coordination and strength issues on the right hand side of my body but I still see results in different areas of my body that are good. Thank you for letting people know that you do not have to use the will perfectly to see and feel good results. My body is toned, no love handles and my flat chest does touch the floor when doing the wheel. When using the wheel a person will definitely feel those muscles working. Even a little pain. Thank you.

The first week I used the ab wheel my entire upper body was on fire, more than just my abs. 😳🤦🏼‍♂️ Much better now. One of the best and least expensive pieces of equipment. ❤️🇨🇦. Thank you for sharing. 👍💪

I have been using the wheel for over 40 years. I can do the roll out from my feet. I do them twice a week. I think it is worth mentioning that if you have never done them before, go easy in the beginning. The wheel can create soreness like you have never had before. Fair warning. Good Video. Thank you.

[MrBraffZachlin]

unless you were born fit everyone remembers that first time they rolled one of these out to full extension and realized they can't get back to the starting position, lol

[tonygunk]

As a strength and conditioning coach for the past 20 years, I 100% agree with this. Spot on.

Watching this since my abs are so freaking sore after using ab wheel for first time in years yesterday. I hit abs 2-3 times a week & thought ab wheel wouldn't really affect me since I do so many ab exercises. Was I ever WRONG! Definitely adding to my routine. Thanks for video!

Scapular stability is always a big issue for me. I haven't used the ab wheel in a long time, but this really inspires me to get it out and see what I can do with it now.

[alanbaskaev]

Agree. One of my fav fitness gears. Love mixing it up with jumping rope. Something like 1 min skipping/10 roll outs in EMOM fashion. Same works 90 sec skipping/15 roll outs. 5-10 rounds and feel great.

I love my Ab Wheel. Actually have two, one for the home gym and one for when I travel. The home gym version is rather large (ca. 12") and has foot supports. The travel one is by Perfect Fitness, but it's the first version that is small like most Ab Wheels but double wide for stability. And it has a chain drive inside that gives a slight bit of assistance on the way back.

My doctor told me it's EXCELLENT for the back as well. Especially when you need to assist your body (by creating a stronger core) when having already worn out vertebrae.

[TheBillyjack]

Great exercise. Great advice. In a pinch I’ve used a towel on the floor in place of a wheel. Do not try on carpet. 💪🏻😋👍🏻

Thanks Johny for your contribution to both the cinema industry and the fitness industry. I've decided to follow your fitness channel from now on.

[jessenilsson]

Thank you for keep uploading high quality at and very fast pace. Great job :D

[benardsnell]

Have never tried the Ab roller but when I tried it for the first time last week, I didn't the kneeling perfectly, and now am thinking of starting to learn standing

[chiptenor]

Very intelligent and articulate video on the 'ab wheel' and its positive effects. Good job. Thanks.

[chiptenor]

I've seen lots of videos on this device; yours, in my estimation, is by far the best.

I have used this wheel ever since I found my fathers in the basement growing up. It is an incredible exercise that yes works your whole upper body but specifically your core. You can activate muscles within your extensions and really develop your core. I utilize this as well as the door frame pull up bar and free weights at home. If you use proper form that you need with all exercises; this piece of equipment gives you what you want fast and consistent.
