Build that six-pack!,

This review is from: Valeo Ab Wheel (Sports)
I've read several reviews here with people being confused or disappointed, but I think perhaps expectations were different. First off, I'm not a trained professional, but I've been exercising for years and I pay close attention to proper form for the most effective effort. I'll try to explain how this works and what to expect.
-- CORE MUSCLES WORKED WITH AN AB WHEEL:
Shoulders, arms, upper and lower back, abs (all sections)
-- WHAT TO EXPECT ON QUALITY:
The quality on these things doesn't have to be fancy - it has a simple use and just has to be functional. Two wheels are better than one, however.

Extremely Effective,

The ab wheel is very well made and contrary to what others have said, if you take the time to snug the grips up tight, the wheels do not wobble at all. As for the workout, it's extremely difficult, but also extremely effective. 10 reps and you feel a burn that lasts for two days! After using 3 times a week for the last three weeks, I've noticed a great difference in the tighness in my abs. Recommended.

Got it at a great price. Nice burn from using it. I don't know that 2 wheels makes it better, but it does the job.
Only gripe was that it was almost impossible to put the foam handle on over the metal bar, that was a workout by itself, had to use all knowledge of physics and all brute strength in fingers to get job done.
