 Decent, but there are better December 11, 2006

I bought this product because it looked a lot smaller than the other similar ab slide/roller/etc devices. I have one of the big, bulky blue ab devices and I love it. Those things have an internal spring that provides some resistance in the movement. Plus they have a much wider wheel base that makes them far more stable than this ab wheel. Overall, those isolate your abs much better and make the workout a lot easier on your arms and wrists than the ab wheel does. So you end up being able to do more reps to target your abs. So if you want a better ab workout, I'd go look at one of those. However, this ab wheel is MUCH smaller and therefore much more portable. I can disassemble it and easily fit it in a suitcase for traveling--which I do a lot. That way I can take it with me and not miss out on my daily ab workout. For that purpose, I love this thing. But because of its drawbacks, I have a feeling if I had ordered this thing as my first ab toy of this type I would have given up in frustration--its simply not sable enough to make this type of exercise comfortable for daily use.
 great ab workout but no miracles expected February 16, 2007

This is a great little device to work your abs, but it's not going to give you a six pack all by itself... you need to watch your diet as well. Two tips:
1. make sure you stretch before use; especially your back and shoulders, since they will be getting a workout too.
2. use it on a thick carpet or put a folded towel under your knees; you'll be a lot more comfortable.
All in all, this is far superior to the more expensive ab devices you see on late night TV.

This equipment is no joke and it deals out quite a lot of pain for 6 bucks. I decided that it wasn't that hard on the first day and did a couple more reps than a should have. Needless to say, I didn't work my abs for the next 3 days because I was too sore to move them around. Get this and let your friends try it. You'll love the great looks on their faces.
Does what it says it does, but... February 2, 2008

FYI, I used to have a pack back in high school which unfortunately was lost due to a lack of activity. I got this device to help with getting it back. This review will be short and simple.
First, let's be clear: IT DOES WORK. If you do three sets of 20 rolls per set, you'll feel the burn the next day for sure. Don't expect miracles overnight though. You're not going to see a full on six pack without working on this device for a while.
Second, so you know, this is nothing more than two wheels with a bar. That's it. You could probably put this together yourself, but why bother?
Lastly, there is only one negative: the hand grips are NOT comfortable. They use the same handles as regular bicycle handlebars which you would assume should be perfect for this application, right? Wrong. The problem with that is this: on a bicycle, your gravity base is centered on the seat, even when you're leaning forward. On this device, even though you're on your knees, your weight becomes distributed (which is why this device also works your arms and shoulders...you're naturally adding more weight as you do the motion, causing you to work harder. If this weren't the case, this device wouldn't work). That means that pressure points are being created on your hands, making for a very uncomfortable situation. If it weren't for that, you could get a lot more effect from your workout (see the Perfect Pushup's grips for an example of what I'm talking about).
So, does it work? Yes. But you won't be able to maximize your workout since the grips will make your hands hurt after a while. Very unfortunate, because it is otherwise a very effective little unit and a great value at the price.

This device is exactly what I was looking for. Once you get comfortable enough on your knees, try starting from the standing position; very challanging.
I have to disagree with the "not worth it" review. The whole POINT of this device is to force your body to WORK so a mechanism to make your workout easier would be counterproductive. Stop whinging and do the work.
