hey everyone and welcome to another review by Jim's review room today we've been looking at the AB Carver from the company called perfect found at your local Walmart for 30 dollars now this item is also available online at amazon.com and it's the number one AB wheel on there now this product does cost much more than a traditional AB wheels but there's some unique features on here that might make this worth to purchase so I'll test it and give you my opinion on my experience now as a disclaimer I'm not a fitness instructor or claiming to be jacked or cut it might not even have the best posture in my videos the review is on the product itself and not me and of course read the manual for instructions and safety information and using this wheel now one of the most underestimated workouts are core workouts what are the most underestimated tools for overall fitness is an AB wheel now if you want to find out why core workouts are so important I recommend clicking on the video playing right now as I do explain why they are so important in the gold's gym and we'll review or find out my channel at youtube.com slash gyms review room so without further adieu 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 now you're a beast here I show you my attempt at a plank and hold it as long as I could until failure the key part here is literally laying like a plank and keeping 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 right away and I want you to do this yourself as well and post your times below in the comments now the ab cover is still a very simple design with some added features the entire outer construction and its handles are plastic with two rubber like strips running right down on either side for improved grip and stability now one of the cons right off the bat though is after several uses the rubber-like material attracts dust hair and other miscellaneous things off your carpet it doesn't look too appealing after a while though however it is easily wiped down with a damp cloth now a clear warning label on the side of the unit advises to use only a non-skid surfaces now my hardwoods weren't slippery and of course if you're using this your hardwoods now be sure to rest your knees on a yoga mat or something soft that won't slide again read the manual for safety instructions before using now going back to the handles the traditional wheels are perfectly fine with it's simple straight foam grips now these don't have foam grips but they are like the rest of the wheel really wide the contoured grips also gives you more support and confidence over the traditional wheels so a real big plus there now just doing this in the knee position I felt my hamstrings tightening and keeping balance on the wheel I felt my entire abdominal area from my lower abs to my 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 and over all this type of workout has many compound movements meaning I'm working several areas at the same time and also performed side rolls and just feeling my side stretch felt amazing and this exercise specifically worked around my rib muscles it's one of the most unique and amazing workout activities that you can do and it actually feels good doing so and one of the last features of this wheel and what makes this wheel unique to the traditional wheels is a winding mechanism that provides a bit of resistance when going down and also support when going back up now as you go further and stretch ahead the ab cover winds up a spring inside and you have to push yourself a little bit more in your core and arms to fully extend now from my experience I personally didn't feel too much resistance and I was able to go down nearly as easy as I did with the traditional wheel same with going back up and because of the support I notice I didn't engage my abs and arch my back as much so overall the assisted ADEs is what I call it is there but it's not too much there's not too much resistance that a beginner to this exercise wouldn't be able to use this machine and the support isn't too much where you're losing gains I do try to work out several days a week and I actually still felt results the next day I've been using the AB wheel in general so yes AB wheels including this one definitely works non-reality this exercise alone won't get you cut or ripped and you can do set ups you know all the setups in the world or roll this will several times a day but without a clean diet your abs will always have a layer on top of them remember to eat clean to get lean and use this ad cover to supplement your workouts so overall with its quality build wide wheel with rubber strips the extra wide grips and a resistance and support mechanism the ab cover is worth it to purchase for $30 at Walmart now some locations do have it for 40 so be on the lookout though it's still worth a purchase considering the only con that I noticed is the rubber-like material did attract dust and hair now with that being said the traditional AB wheels do work is good so if you're willing to pay more or desire some of the features mentioned then yes you can't go wrong with the AB Carver so hope you enjoyed this review of the ab cover by perfect if you have not please take your time to like and subscribe to this video for future alerts to these products and
