Amazing Ab-Wheel Pro

The fantastic Ab-Wheel Pro which features an integral brake to prevent over exertion or complete collapse when stretching out to your maximum effort i.e. allows you to stop just before hitting the point of no return thereby maximising your efforts and active range of motion.

This is what I consider to be tha best ab-wheel currently on the market. The stabillity of dual wheels means you can concentrate on the exercise specifically i.e. building up power and strength in the abdominal muscles and the self locking brake works brilliantly.

The only downside to the Ab Wheel Pro compared to the larger wheeled York Fitness Exercise Wheel is that it really needs to be used on a hard flat surface (tiles, wood or laminate etc) due to the increased rolloing resistance of small dual wheels compared to the larger diameter and wider footprint of the York version, so if you have a hard floor then this is an awesome way to gauge your increasing strength.
Tip: You could mark out measurements on the floor to make a note of how far you can extend to (and return from).
As with all abdominal work, find a distance that you can achieve around 6 to 12 full reps. MAX. And of course please remember that any and ALL abdominal work is completely useless at reducing waist size or getting rid of "belly fat" because it burns virtually zero calories compared to large muscle group compound exercises like freeweight squat and deadlift (Legs and Back)

Diet correction is 100 times more important then exercise for weight loss but exercise is absolutely essential to maintain muscle mass (load beaing weight/resistance exercises as detailed above) leading to FAT LOSS rather than muscle wastage of the diet/aerobic mind set that brings about "skinny fat" weight loss...

Great fun for all the familly with "plank" style abdominal work being made as easy or as difficult as you like with the added security of the twist-brake lock.
