 Highly recommended versus any other ab product! Mar 10, 2009
By J. Lee
"imajeel"
I feel like over the years I've bought every exercise machine available, at every price point, from the Gazelle Freestyle andValeo Dual Ab Wheel to the Ab Lounger, Tiger Ab Machine and the Sunny Health & Fitness Roller Slide. This is the ONLY one I've bought that:
1) I've used regularly, because it's so easy. (In fact, so regularly that I've worn out the kneepads on my first one- and bought a new one)
2) Provides a noticable loss of inches for both the upper and lower tummy within a couple of weeks - with just 5 minutes of use a day! (I know I sound like the commercial - but it's true).
Here's the upsides, downsides and tips I have if you decide to use it:
UPSIDES:
1) Like "ab wheel" exercisers. the ab dolly allows you to exercise your abs in a variety of directions. But,
- it's much easier to do it with this wider version. And, beginner's can put their elbows on the dolly to make it no more effort than mopping your floor.
- Also, unlike "ab wheels", it let's you work out your lower tummy abs in a variety of directions easily. (You put your knees on the dolly and your hands on the pad!)
2) Goes against the "no pain, no gain rule":
Actually, you might feel pain THE NEXT DAY if you overdo it. But doing it is so painless that you really might not realize you are overdoing it. That's because of it's ability to roll different directions. Everytime you get tired of going one way - you just roll a different way. And since you can work your lower abs, as well as upper ones - it's easy to get carried away and do the equivalent of 300 pain-free ab crunches the first day. (Don't! I recommend starting out doing 75 with plenty of directional variety for each upper and lower abs. That's still the equivalent of at least 150 crunches. It'll only take you a couple of minutes and you'll feel it the next day. but it won't kill you or your motivation!)
3) Do it for a few minutes a day - see results:
Whether you're dieting or not- a few minutes on this thing a day will at least "tighten up" what you have and reduce inches on your waist.
THERE'S ONLY ONE CRITICAL DOWNSIDE:
You need a hard floor with enough space to rotate around to make this work. Hardwood floors, balconies, patios and/or tile kitchens work well. (It doesn't have to be the perfect hard floor - just not carpeted!) If you don't have a hard floor - it will be useless to you! (You're not on it long enough for it to to need to be in front of a tv. So, if you can find a hard space to lay down with your arms folded out to just past your shoulders - it'll probably work).
TIP:
Watch the video or CD the first time - but just do whatever is comfortable and change the direction you're going whenever it start to feel like "real exercise".

Highly recommended! Jan 14, 2011
By lulu
I have owned and used an Ab Dolly for years. After trying practically every piece of home equipment available, this is the one that has stood the test of time. What I like best is the "total-core" fitness result. My back, shoulders and arms are strengthed and toned at the same time as full abdominal fitness.
The only caution I have is that one MUST stretch before using. But, that is true for almost any activity.

After 3 weeks, I've lost an inch and a half! Jun 02, 2009
By A. Jones
I have a gym in the basement of my workplace where I go four days a week, primarily to walk treadmill and lift some weights. I asked our health officer about this product and started using it three weeks ago. It is very easy to use, even by an overweight individual like myself. I've noticed results pretty much immediately the first week and it is now it's the favorite part of my workout. My jeans already fit better. I also noticed it helps to stretch the back and decompress the spine and provides some of the same benefits for me as some of the yoga stretches I do. I am considering buying one for home for my husband. I never thought I'd have such a great time with a piece of exercise equipment, but this thing is great!

Easy to use, but works all the targeted torsel areas. I am converting my one pack abs into a four pack whith hopes of reaching a six pack. Great augment between treadmill. and incline board.

 OK but not great Jul 25, 2011
By Kosta Baktidy
This product does but is over designed. Many of the smaller, single wheeled ab rollers are better because the instability works out a lot more stabilizing muscles, and they are also a lot cheaper. Save your money and buy a single wheeled ab roller.
