Adidas Ab Wheel

OVERVIEW
The ‘roll out’ is considered by experts to be one of the most productive (and challenging) abdominal exercises in the gym. Originally performed by ‘rolling out’ on a Gym ball, the Ab wheel improves and optimises the movement by placing you closer to the floor – this means that every muscle involved in stability and dynamic strength is called in to action.

TO BE YOUR BEST
First time you roll out do it on your knees and keep the wheel under your body, as you improve you can lift your knees off the ground and push the roller further in front of you – at this point your entire bodyweight is going through your abdominals making this one of the most targeted ways of working those muscles.

COACH SAYS
Doing 1000’s of sit ups won’t give you flat abs – to achieve that you have to work the abdominal muscles as an integrated part of your torso, roll outs are challenging but highly productive. This wheel isn’t like other ‘gadgets’ that claim miracles but fail to deliver. when used correctly, it’s impossible not to feel the muscles literally working harder than you have ever previously experienced.

DESIGNER NOTES
We spent a lot of time perfecting the dimensions of our wheel and handles because other versions of this type of product we reviewed often seemed to be ‘lightweight’. The Adidas Ab wheel is built to deliver results no matter if you are training for MMA, team sports or integrating it in to your WOD (workout of the day).
