Ab Roller Equipment

Being a slightly out of shape college student with little time for excise, I understand the convenience and appeal of products such as ab roller equipment. Unfortunately, products such as these promise to great of results for the what they actually deliver.

It would be unrealistic for a person to build a fabulous set of washboard abs by using the ab roller alone. However this is not to say they don't do anything at all. For someone who is just looking to burn some calories, this is a great aid to diet and other exercise.

My first experiences with the ab roller exercise wheel were wonderful and I felt as if I had done an extensive work out. The difficulty level of this exercise was such that it was hard to complete 20 reps. Much faster then expected, the burn went away and the work/results ratio dropped below what made me feel like I had worked out. I was able to complete hundreds of reps without any feeling of accomplishment.

Upon further research I discovered many people experienced similar results. I feel this is mainly due to over-emphasis of the Ab rollers use in a persons complete work out. The Ab roller would be a much more effective tool if used sparingly and incorporated into a bigger exercise routine.
