Excellent bit of kit for toned strong abs. When done properly this exercise is very effective as part of a series of other exercises for toning abs. Strongly suggest you look up on the web e.g. You Tube how to use it. Posture and technique is key to obtaining best results. Materials very light, so very portable easy to take away with you on a break. Little space needed.

Progress at your own pace this is far more productive and rewarding than just grinding out situps

There's now an innumerable amount of different ab rollers available in the marketplace, I guess because they've become a tried and tested way in which to effectively strengthen and build those abdominal muscles. So, I spent a very long time looking at the pros and cons of those being sold on Amazon, before eventually deciding that for my money, this one from H&S was the best available. Now that I've had it for a few days, I'm beginning to realise this one was a wise choice.It arrived nicely packaged in a shallow cardboard box. Inside were two wheels, two handles (one with an inner metal tube). These components simply slide together on that chromed tube in a matter of seconds. A nice feature is that, for travel purposes, they can just as easily be disassembled to lay flat in a suitcase. You also get a decent rectangular floor mat, which is essential for protecting those knees.By the way, there is no 'magic' exercise/machine to give you that sometimes elusive six-pack - using a variety of stomach exercises is key (and doing them in strict style) together with a 'clean' diet, and the ability to burn off those calories if you are prone to easily gain weight. The idea is to try and subtly build those abdominal muscles, but at the same time reduce the layer of fat covering them, so they become prominent - giving the washboard effect.I train in a gym four times each week, and use a stomach crunch machine plus old-fashioned sit-ups at the end of each workout. I bought this wheel primarily to do extra abdominal exercises at home during my days off.I've found this to be an excellent ab wheel and is, in my opinion, better than the ones they let us use at my local gym. I've tried it on differing flooring and have found it to have a surprisingly good grip on any surface - I've used it on carpet, vinyl, laminated flooring and ceramic tiles. It is VERY IMPORTANT to use this correctly though - that way you'll avoid potential injury and also achieve optimum results. The supplier sensibly directs buyers to the wikiHow website (ref: Use-an-Ab-Roller) which offers easy-to-understand instructions. There are also many good videos available on YouTube (where would we be without it?) - the two I can recommend are: Ab Wheel Extension by Bodylastics and Ab Wheel For Beginners by Minus The Gym. Use it the right way, and use it regularly and you may well find this is one of the best (and cheapest) investments you've ever made.

Perfect lil ab roller for home use. Extremely easy to assemble, feels pretty sturdy and well build and is above all else comfortable to use! The grips are a nice, soft foam material which definitely adds to the ease of use.Overall, pretty great value; I'd definitely recommend this if you're looking for an ab roller for home workouts.

Wish I had paid the extra and had two wheels as quite difficult.But it rolls well on carpet and floor and works exactly as expected.

I was pondering one of these for a long time, and after glass of wine (ironically) decided it was time take the gamble. There was a bewildering choice of options for Ab Rollers, but I chose this one based on reviews and price.Ultimately I don't think it really matters which one you get as long as it rolls. The roller comes in a few pieces that need putting together. This takes a few seconds really. Slide the wheels onto the bar, then slide the handle grips one either side of the wheels. The grips are friction fit, so no tools or issues to get up and running.Having 2 wheels is good for me as it provides a little more stability when using. The pad for your knees is useful too, as on a hard floor the ab roller will be quite painful on your knees as you rock forward and back.So in use, you can really feel how hard this thing makes you work. Starting on knees and rolling out to a good outstretch, for me its really evident how hard my core is working. Subtly different when rolling back up, but after a few sessions of 15-20 reps, the next few days gives me quite a bit of residual muscle ache. This is something I don't get much from situps, but do from planks.

Good value for the money, easy to use

Good quality
