Ab Roller Review
The Ab Roller is one of the more simple ab machines on the market. Simple is not necessarily a bad thing especially considering all the complicated gadgets on the market. The Ab Roller promises to get you sexy abs and a slim waistline. Let’s take a closer look at Ab Roller.
About the Ab Roller
The Ab Roller is one of the older ab machines on the market. This is a good and a bad thing. It’s good because there is a reason that the Ab Roller is still on the market after all these years. People like it. It is tried and tested. However, it has been passed by technology. Other ab machines have incorporated the Ab Roller model and made improvements.
How does the Ab Roller work?
The basic ab roller has a cushion for your head with handles on both sides for your arms. From this position you can either do regular crunches or obliques. The design of the Ab Roller is to prevent stress on the spine and support your neck.
A positive about the Ab Roller is that it is fairly lightweight and is easy to move around. It is also simple to assemble.
Is the Ab Roller effective?
The Ab Roller is made for beginners. It simply aids you with regular crunches. There is no resistance. Because there is no resistance, this forces you to workout for a longer period of time to get the same effect. A big negative of the Ab Roller is that you are only able to do one basic exercise. Crunches get old…very fast and so if you don’t have motivation, working out for a extended period of time with the Ab Roller will be difficult.

Ab Roller Cons

Different Models of the Ab Roller

The Ab Roller is the most basic although the variations between the models is not substantial (however, the prices are). The difference between the different models is generally the quality of the material or extra/different placements of the handles.
How much is the Ab Roller?

Is there a money back guarantee?

Is the Ab Roller worth purchasing?
The Ab Roller’s greatest strength is also its greatest weakness: simplicity. With over complicated ab machines on the market, a simple apparatus is a breath of fresh air. However, the value-added factor of the Ab Roller is minimal. Other than supporting the neck, the Ab Roller doesn’t add much.
