hey everyone and welcome to another review by Jim's review room today we'll be looking at the AB wheel from Gold's Gym found at your local Walmart for only $8 now for folks outside the US amazon.com has a bunch of these similar wheels for sale as well now as a disclaimer I'm not a fitness instructor I'm just the average guy who's looking for products that work so I'm not jacked or cut at all it might not even have the best posture in my videos the review is on the product itself and not me now getting that out the way one of the most underestimated workouts our core workouts for every movement that you do throughout your day and throughout your life you actually engage your core muscles first so that way energy is transferred to say your arms legs back etc now for example try opening a stubborn jar lid not only do you use your arm muscles but your body uses its core as a foundation for energy transfer or imagine being on a roller coaster and your body's being tossed and turned or even something very simple like riding a bike now relax your entire core at that time and you'll be wobbling everywhere now imagine this do an incline bench press and right before you lift your weights you can feel your entire core tighten your core is your foundation to keeping posture throughout the movements and getting the most out of every lift to even every job that you go through now have you seen one of your friends do a wonky push up like this before either the butts too high or maybe it's too low either way their Center isn't engaged either because maybe a pure laziness or a really weak core so without further ado we'll get started now one measure to determine your core strength is by doing planks now per men's fitness calm the average person can stay in this position for about a minute above that you're usually an animal above the two-minute mark you're actually a beast here I show you my attempt at a plank and hold it as long as I can until failure the key part is to literally lay like a plank and keep your body perfectly straight your elbows Bend at 90 degrees and you're on your toes with your legs together of course the video is sped up so we can get to the product now I want you to do this yourself and post your times below in the comments now the Abril is a very simple design and build consisting of a handlebar with two foam grips on either side and the twin plastic wheel is just literally that it's just plastic nonetheless it's very tough and durable for its intended use although with no ball bearings or a metal cylinder the wheel does free flow once the handlebar is inserted and rotates easily even once you apply pressure and start using the tool now starting with a simpler knee position then going to aggressive standing up exercises I felt my hamstrings tightening and keeping balance on the wheel I felt my entire abdominal area from my lower abs to upper abs stretch and tighten at the same time and even up to my chest area where I've fully extended above my head my arm muscles were engaged as well to keep balance and especially when pulling myself back up over all this type of workout has many compound movements meaning I'm working several areas at the same time now also perform side rolls and just feeling my side stretch felt amazing this exercise specifically worked around my rib areas now it's one of the most unique and amazing workout activities that you can do and it actually feels good doing so and although the wheel is narrow it's great to attempt to keep your balance engaging all of your muscles at the same time now for those who have never done this before or think their core isn't as stable their first time doing this might be a bit scary either falling face-first wobbling maybe not strong enough to pull yourself back up now it's a valid concern but then what makes this wheel great though it helps identify areas of opportunity to strengthen either your back your arms or your legs it makes you stronger if you're coming from that standpoint of course be careful and slowly train and condition yourself to achieve this I can say the next day I was feeling pretty sore and I do try to work out several days a week and I actually still felt results the next day so yes the AB wheel does work non-reality this exercise alone won't get you cut or ripped you can do all the sit-ups in the world or even use this wheel twice a day or even more but without a clean diet your abs will always have a layer of fat on top of them remember to eat clean to get lean so overall with its sturdy construction the price only at $8 at Walmart in this type of exercise or bring all of your core muscles those are just some of the pros this thing has to offer like I said earlier this will alone won't get you shredded but think of this as a tool to supplement your regimen Courtley as they did in the beginning of this video working your core muscles is hugely beneficial for everyday life and especially if you're lifting weights where they're male and female to achieve greater gains when working on other muscle groups so in my opinion the ab little is definitely worth a buy especially for this price so
