Ab Wheel

A classic ab wheel for core training at home. Kneel, hold the handles, roll forward as far as you can control, then pull back. Each rollout works your abs, hip flexors, shoulders and back.

What's included

• The ab wheel
• A drawstring carry bag
• Instructions

Size & build

• About 11.6" wide handle to handle, wheel about 8.7" tall
• Weight: about 1.8 lb
• Wheel covered in thick TPE (a soft, rubber-like plastic), so it's quiet, grips the floor and won't scuff it
• Foam grips on a steel handle

How much to do

General guidance for beginners, not a medical plan:

• Start on your knees, with a mat or towel under them. Only roll as far as you can without your lower back sagging.
• Beginner: 2–3 sets of 5–8 rollouts, 3 times a week
• Once that's easy: 3 sets of 10–15, roll farther, or try standing rollouts
• Rest a day between sessions at first. Your abs will be sore early on. Daily use is fine once you're used to it, with lighter sets.

Skip it or check with a doctor if you have lower back problems.
