Hey Everyone!
Today I want to talk about the ab rollers and Rolling.
The Ab roller is not a new product. To the best of my knowledge it dates back to at least 60 years old! (Picture Courtesy: Beast skills.com)I also remember when my dad was training me he showed me this exercise. (Dad is an old time, old school trainer who started to train back in the late 50's.) Apparently, most strong men of old also used an ab roller.
I remember it was really tough when dad improvised training me with a dumbbell to replicate the movement. It was tough! I finished the first rep after a loud grunt and OUCH! but as I sat back up I was smiling. I knew the exercise would deliver the goods for me.
I personally recommend the wheel or a swiss ball as compared to a dumb bell for the fact that its easier to control.
Depending on your level of strength you can use the following for Ab rolling.
1) Swiss ball - Beginners (Available at Flipkart and Healthkart)
2) Ab wheel - Intermediates to Advanced (Available from Healthkart)
3) Foam roller - Intermediates to Advanced (Available from Healthkart)
4) Dumb-bell or Barbell.- Advanced (Available from Healthkart)
I use the variations but more importantly of why I would recommend this as the only piece of ab equipment is its one I have tried and it has given me results. Also if it was good enough for old time strong men and bodybuilders and made it till today then I would go with it all the way. (If you would like to see some pics of old time strong men check my article on 'The Classic Physique')
(I recommend ab training to make your abs stronger. You are not going to see a six pack or an ab reduction until you get your Nutrition and Diet in order with a good strength training program.)
