Dual Ab Wheel, Exercise And Fitness Wheel With Easy Grip Handles For Core Training And Abdominal Workout

This ab wheel is simple, effective, and surprisingly solid for core training workouts at home. The dual wheel design gives it extra stability while rolling, which helps make movements feel smoother and more controlled whether you are just starting out or already experienced with ab workouts. The easy grip handles feel comfortable in the hands and provide a secure hold during longer sessions. It rolls smoothly across the floor and really targets the core, shoulders, and arms with just a few reps. The compact size also makes it easy to store or take anywhere for quick workouts. If you want an affordable piece of workout equipment that actually challenges your core and helps build strength, this is an excellent choice that delivers exactly what it promises.

Let me start this off with my conclusion--the Valeo Ab Wheel is fantastic and a great value for the paltry amount of money you will spend on it. I've been eating well and exercising (light weights, a couple sets of pull-ups/chin-ups and resistance cables) five to ten minutes a day--along with 1-1.5 hours of cardio once or twice a week--but wanted a little more strength and definition in my core. I started doing sit-ups once or twice a day--50-100 at a time--which felt pretty good but I was worried about not working all of my abs equally. I was also curious as to other methods because my back or shoulders seem to click when I do full sit-ups. Additionally, it was hard to anchor myself unless I put my feet under the bottom edge of the couch, which involved putting shoes on due to the sharp wooden frame. All in all, it was a bit of a production just to do some sit-ups. I found the Valeo Ab Wheel on Amazon and ordered it based on the other reviews, and the fact that it seemed such a simple solution compared to my sit-up/crunches ritual. It is a pleasure to use, but make SURE that you read the instructions on proper use so that you do not hurt your back. Keep it STRAIGHT through the whole repetition. I recommend using the Ab Wheel on carpet for the added friction--it helps you control how far you extend yourself and prevent self-injury--but it will operate smoothly on a solid floor. I keep the wheel right next to my bed so that one of the first things I do when I get up (other than kill the alarm) is to do a set. I start my coffee, have a banana, and then do another set when I come back into the bedroom to get my clothes before showering. If I'm feeling particularly adventurous that day, I'll do a third set of 15 in the evening before dinner. The first time I used it, I was able to do two sets of 15 a couple minutes apart, but my abs were SORE afterwards--the awesome kind of sore that lets you know you've had a good workout. Before I used it the first time I was pretty sure I'd be able to do a good number because I've practiced martial arts--which is all about core strength--for 15 years. DO NOT be discouraged if at first you can only do a couple at a time! I could only do two or three proper pull-ups or chin-ups on a chin-up bar when I started a year ago. I added one or two more reps to each set every couple weeks. Now I am up doing two to three sets of 14-20 pull-ups or chin-ups every few days, just from casual consistency. You can do the same with the Valeo Ab Wheel. After using the ab wheel for a little over a month, I now comfortably do 2-3 sets of 15 every day (giving the muscles a day to rest and heal if they start to get sore). This ab wheel is well-constructed and sturdy for someone who is 5'6 and 145lbs like me, and it does give your back and arms (triceps and forearms) a little bit of a workout, too! In six weeks of ownership and regular use, I have seen results in terms of better abdominal definition. My girlfriend compliments me constantly, putting her hands on my chest just to touch--which is pretty awesome considering she is also in great shape. In her words I now "have abs that are sculpted like on a greek statue". To be honest, I haven't worked that hard at being in good shape, I've simply been consistent and made it a lifestyle change. Eating well--a good amount of protein and healthy fats from nuts, eggs, fish, chicken, and oils (walnut and grapeseed oils taste great and have Omega-3s to keep your brain in good order!) along with salads, coarse grains, a variety of fruit and green vegetables, a limited amount of red meat, sweets, and bread/baked products, and lots of water, tea, and coffee (black or with a small amount of soy creamer) along with decent sleep--is probably two thirds of it. I've found that the process of simply learning about how healthy all of these things are for your mind and body--and how bad trans fats and junk/fast/frozen-prepared food is for it--goes a long way in causing your body and mind to literally CRAVE the things that are most healthy for you. I see ice cream, steak, chips, or cake at a party and sure, I'll have a little, but you know you're in a good place when you are at home and actually crave carrots/broccoli and low fat hummus, walnuts, and an apple! Eating these things feels GOOD because you know how good they are for you--it seems to be about conditioning your mind and body to desire these things through the education of both. The last bit of it has been working out in the privacy of my own apartment about 5-10 minutes every day and at the dojo for an hour or so a couple times a week, then going for walks for photography, grocery runs, or just to get out and enjoy the good weather. I was bicycling 13 miles on a flat urban trail near my place 2-3 times a week (which took me about 50 minutes total) but I haven't done that since last summer. I'll start up again now that the weather is good, but it hasn't been part of my routine for months. I have lost about 25lbs in one year (more than that if you count conversion of fat to muscle) and I've gone from being in OK shape with a few extra pounds to being super-proud of how I look. I'm not ripped, just really toned and with a healthy and sustainable amount of muscle in the right places--"like a perfect male model for sketching", according to the artistic girlfriend. Now I regularly get compliments from friends, clients, and strangers--something I am totally unused to. I've never thought of myself as hot or especially attractive, but apparently I've been seeing myself incorrectly for some time now. These days, I dress nicer and I am not afraid to wear more flattering clothes. I am so much more confident in myself, personally, professionally, and physically. It has really helped me become more outgoing and willing to try new things and meet new people simply for the sake of meeting new people. I'm not going to claim that the Ab Wheel is responsible for all of this--I've only had it a little over a month. However, in my short time with it, it has proven to be yet another useful, effective, and affordable tool in becoming who I want to be. It has become and will continue to be a regular part of my workout. I wanted to share my experience with all of you and hopefully my story will help(along with the Valeo Ab Wheel) inspire you to become the healthy and happy person I know you can be. There is no reason why you should not buy this product, save for already owning one. You owe it to yourself and the value you will get out of this--directly and indirectly--immeasurably exceeds the $15 you'll pay for it. Matt

I've been using it for a couple weeks now, and I'm happy I got it. The wheels are sturdy and the whole thing feels pretty solid and stable even when I have my weight on it. It rolls nice and smooth. I didn't have any trouble getting the grips on, as others have described. They went on pretty easy and they stay on pretty well. The only thing keeping me from giving it 5 stars is that the grips are not as comfortable as they could be. The first time I used it, I put my lifting gloves back on after a few reps. With the gloves on, its perfectly fine but it might be an issue if you don't lift with gloves. Now, ab wheels in general are a great core exercise. You can really feel it, and it will give you a six pack if you use it consistently. The catch is that it's a difficult exercise to perform. If you work out on a regular basis (at least 2-3 times per week) I would say give it a shot. Concentrate on good form (plenty of explanatory videos online) and don't overdo it. If you are just starting out, I would suggest concentrating on doing other abdominal exercises first. My suggestion would be to create an ab routine that takes 10-15 minutes to complete and do it 4 times per week. Once you build up a base level of core strength you can graduate to the ab wheel.

I just got the Ab Wheel a few days ago in the mail, and can feel results already. The wheel comes with a short instruction paper, but its fairly easy to find more instruction online if you feel the paper isn't enough. It is simple enough to use, just keep your back straight, and roll. The first day I tried the Ab Wheel, I did around seven sets of fifteen reps throughout the day. Some background on me is I'm a regular at my gym, started some training with a heavy bag, and am in generally fit shape. So when I did my sets on the first day, I honestly felt nothing on my abs, that is until the next day. My abs ached, I honestly couldn't even do one rep on the wheel. My shoulders were also sore, so expect toned shoulders, arms, and abs. One day has passed, and I'm still feeling sore in my abdominals. On the actual wheel itself, it is well built and sturdy. Personally, I felt the ridges were a bit hard on the handle, but I simply put some duct tape around both handles, and now I don't feel a thing. It wasn't necessary, but it certainly helped. I haven't had a problem yet, and the wheel was easy to put together. Just slip the metal bar through both wheels, then slip on the handles on each side of the metal bar. I like to do sets each time I walk by the Wheel, so I get a good workout by the end of the day. When classes resume in the fall, I think I'll workout with the Wheel every morning, because I wake up at five, and end up with free time after breakfast. The only thing to be wary of is empty dreams. If you expect to pay ten dollars for the wheel and wake up with a six pack the next day, sorry, this isn't what your looking for. But with good old fashioned hard work and a good diet, expect to see great results soon. Oh and you will definitely feel it in your stomach the next day, your abs will be crying! Overall, just make sure to keep your back straight and use the wheel properly, don't work your abs everyday, and you will be very happy with this purchase.

First, I read the review complaining about the grip and "difficult assembly" and have to say they are blatantly wrong. The grip is perfect, unless you have massive or extremely petite hands, otherwise you are golden! It is plastic, however it is NOT slick, even when your hands perspire the grip remains non-slip. Assembly has A BREEZE. Two wheels two grips and one sturdy metal rod/axel. Place the wheels on together and slide the grips on to cap both ends of the rod... that's it... To keep this process simple and easy there are tiny holds on the ends of each grip which allows air to escape, so that they slide on with minimal force, i.e. if you have "trouble" putting this product together, you are not going to be able to perform the workout this item provides... Seriously, I've had more difficulty opening 2 liter bottles of soda than were presented by assembly... The workout provided by the wheel is ridiculous, but amazing. @ 220 and 12% body fat I thought I would do "OK" when starting out (as I have never worked out with this apparatus before), but I IMMEDIATELY felt the workout and was sore within 10-15 minutes. The motion does take a little time to perfect, and it is in your best interest to read directions and take your time to get used to it and believe me you will NOT be able to just take it out of the box and do 20 reps anyway, this thing is a SERIOUS workout. I considered myself to have a pretty darn strong core, but after my first time, I was shocked to FEEL how much work I had to do. This is clearly a device intended for those who are already at a tremendous level of fitness. HOWEVER, if you are able to overcome the initial difficulties and embrace the challenge of this piece of equipment over time you will find no better way to strengthen your core, which is the best way to jump start a better overall fitness and more importantly feel better about yourself and all future workout endeavors. Buy this item, keep your chin up and stick it out once you see how challenging it is and you will reap serious benefits. Anyone who gave negative reviews were presumably unable to get over that hump and like most people blame everyone and everything but themselves. As someone who is in the midst of a 100lbs + weight loss, I've learned that diet and exercise begins and ends with discipline, some people have it some people don't, if you know you have it, get this thing work your butt off and feel great as a result. If you are the type looking for an 'easy solution' or think this is just another in a long line of crappy fads, you'll be sorely disappointed. This thing is awesome!!!

Here’s my review of 4 ab rollers. Hope it’s helpful. Perfect Ab Carver About $20. My top pick. Wheels are hard plastic with outer layer of something a bit softer/stickier. This makes the roll on a hard floor slightly more padded and controlled. Best overall control. Sturdier than the rest. This is due to wider wheel and that padding on the wheel and maybe also the bend handles. By far the best for side moves. I liked the bent handles and preferred them to straight. They fit my hands (I’m 6 foot with big, slim hands) and there was something about the angle that I liked. It may have contributed to the control and also maybe made my back feel every so slightly better. On the other hand I could see people not liking the handled. If you are one of those people I would recommend one of the ones below. It’s also got the best set of work out instructions, which you can use with any roller you buy, because they are on the perfectonline dot com website. Just go there and look under workouts. It gives a slightly different work out than the three below. This is probably because of it’s control and the bend of the handles, which affect your shoulders. I can’t say which workout is better for your abs, all I can say is this one feels slightly different to the standard rollers below. Finally, please note that I’m reviewing the Perfect Ab Carver and NOT the Perfect Ab Carver Pro, which cost twice as much and has a spring. CSX Ab Roller Wheel About $20 A close second to the Perfect Ab Carver. Second sturdiest of the bunch. The handles are straight like the two below but unlike all 4 are foam padded. The foam felt good but I wonder how long it will last (well built though, so maybe will last a while). Doesn’t control as well as Perfect Ab Carver, particularly on side (oblique) rolls. Still a good choice, particularly if you don’t like Perfect Ab Carver’s bent handles. Comes with a small mat for your knees which is not a reason to buy it. Ab Wheel by Valeo About $6 and almost identical to the AB Power Wheel by Wacces below. In fact, I’d say it was slightly better than the Wacces. Just a bit more sturdey. A perfectly fine choice, particularly if you want something to try out that is real inexpensive. Wacces AB Power Wheel Roller About $11. Does a fine job but just a tad flimsier than the Ab Whell by Valeo. At around $11, I’d go with the AB whelle by Valeo. Still a good choice though

The Valeo Ab Wheel is easy to assemble. You stick the pole through the two wheels (making sure the logos are facing out) and then you slip one handle onto the pole. You then slip the other handle onto the pole, but make sure the grip is facing the same exact direction as the first handle you slipped onto the pole. The handles should be completely snugged against the wheels, holding them in place. Once ready, you kneel on the floor (preferably carpeted or your knees will hurt) and you push the wheel out with your arms straight and your face looking down at the floor. Go as far as you can to still hold your body up and be able to pull the wheel back. It looked easy in the picture, but when I did it, it was very hard the first time. I could only roll the wheel halfway out and had to pull back in so that I don't fall on my face. Then after a few times, it got a little easier and now I can roll out further. I have to say that I had no idea the amount of energy and muscles this wheel can force you to use. As a beginner, I only did two minutes or so per day, and I felt pain on in the lower abdomen, outer parts of my arms and the back shoulders. It was good pain because I can feel the muscles developing by aching. I can see how this builds up arms, shoulders, pecks and abs. Great exercise for such a small device. The wheel is 7.5" wide and the handles with wheel is 10" long. Very light weight and easy to hold. Great workout and you feel good. Amazing and Inexpensive (around $11).

It's recently been bumped up a dollar or two in price but is still a decent value, as Amazon consumers have attested by making the Valeo wheel the #1 seller in the category of sports equipment. Obviously the word is out about the superior quality of this particular wheel, since Amazon carries many other, comparably priced ab rollers made by various manufacturers. The device is not as heavy and rugged as it may appear in the photos, and it requires 5-10 minutes assembly time. But it's sufficiently durable and free-rolling to be effective at its main task of "torso toning." I doubt that it's any more effective than properly performed push-ups, but it's a welcome variation on that tedious routine. Use the Valeo wheel at home or in a dorm room or just about any place where it's impractical to keep weights or a Bowflex machine. And be realistic in your expectations, regarding it more as a complement to, or variation on, rather than a replacement for the push-up. (Save the push-ups for the times when your traveling and living out of a suitcase or flight bag.) The instructions for assembly and use could be clearer, larger in font size, and more thorough about technique and exercise time, but I doubt any of that will matter once the device is ready to roll. Like many exercise gadgets, it's likely eventually to make its way to the attic or the most remote corner of a closet, but the cost of the item still makes it easy to claim that it's paid for itself.

Cumple con todo lo que ofrece, se ve de buena calidad y por el precio que uno paga esta muy bien, lo llevo usando casi un mes y es prefecto para mi rutina, si estas buscando un producto (bueno, bonito y barato) lo haz encontrado. Llega en muy buen estado y es fácil de ensamblar, los instructivos están en ingles pero los dibujos te guían perfectamente.

Easy to assemble and easy to use and very effective. Only that it was different from what is shown in the picture here although it didn't make any difference to the performance as such

This is very functional. It's definitely worth the price. I think the wheels must have been repurposed for this product but it gets the job done and I didn't really care about how it looks. The reason I think the wheels have been repurposed is there are five holes on each wheel where screws and bolts should go. They look like they were probably originally for a kids' wagon or something but then something went wrong and they couldn't complete production on the wagons. Or else they just intended to make the wheels attach for the ab roller, but then they realized the assembly could be easier and they don't have to provide screws and bolts. Plus, screws and bolts would likely become loose in no time since its plastic. As I said it functions very well as the ab wheel and its definitely worth the price. I wasn't willing to spend more than $12 on a workout right now and this suits my needs.

Very usefull tool.

Excelente material y el costo muy accesible. Lo recomiendo
