Ab Wheel Workouts: 50 Exercises to Stretch and Strengthen Your Abs, Core, Arms, Back and Legs

I had the expectation that since a book was written about ab wheel exercises, there must have been ab wheel exercises out there beyond the standard guides included with ab wheels or from what could be found on the internet. My expectations were pretty unrealistic. However, the book does have value in that it incorporates the ab wheel into typical exercises. Sure, you don't need an ab wheel to do leg pressouts, pushups, or swimmers but if you already have the wheel out, use it for more resistance. You really don't need the abwheel strapped to your feet to do crunches but why not do some crunches while they're already strapped on?I don't really want to ding the book for not meeting my expectations but the more i think about, there really isn't that many exercises that are unique to the ab wheel. What the author does is expand on those exercises for a more comprehensive workout.Overall, a well-produced book with a clean design, quality photographs and easy to follow steps. However, 20/20 hindsight, I probably wouldn't have purchased book.

I've been a big fan of ab wheel for a long time and consider it to be the greatest and cheapest device to target your entire core.It took me some time to go from kneeling rollout to full standing rollout. That's the extend of what I do with the ab wheel. So I was pleasantly surprised and excited to see a whole book dedicated to ab wheel workouts.Unfortunately, I was not too thrilled with the book. Among the 50 or so ab wheel exercises they had, most of them don't even need the ab wheel. Several examples:1. Doing crunches with the ab wheel strapped to feet doesn't make it difficult.2. Lying down on your back and lifting your hands above your head while strapping on the ab wheel is quite unnecessary3. Lying completely on the floor, face down and rolling the ab wheel from the tip of your head up is downright silly and offer practically zero resistance4. Lying completely on the floor, face down and lifting your legs does not require any assistance from the ab wheel.There were many examples such as above. Also, a number of them are not even exercises ... they're just simple stretches without the ab wheel. I think the cover photo has the two out of five or so most useful exercises with the ab wheel.I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone, not even beginners. Sorry.

A guide to using thing I use with a knee pad to gain strength in the arms and core. Hard work. Also hard to wield, so the book helps with some of its use.

Comprehensive, well written and illustrated reference book. It includes warm-up, stretches, program suggestions and warns the reader about how to perform the exercises safely and with good form/precision. The amount of variety of exercises is amazing and surpasses any other book I have read on the subject. The author takes you from beginner to advanced in one book. I have utilized some of these workouts at Ohlone College where I perform injury rehabilitation and performance optimization with a variety of teams. Great book to have in your arsenal of exercises for the Ab Wheel.

Most of the information I already knew, but still had some info that I didn't know. Overall a good book to have in your fitness library.

Great tone to this book. As usual, not a "sales pitch" for the AB Wheel but a balanced, sensible look at this particular piece ofequipment. Photos are very instructive, the "listen to your body", "take time to build up your regimen," "enjoy your workout" approach is great for the less athletic among us. Just the right amount of "muscle group" talk as it relates to the ab wheel, and the 10 exercise sets seem manageable.

I found this book very insightful. I recently began a training routine in which my personal trainer and I are using an Ab Wheel. These workouts are easy to follow and for someone who has had a history of back injury, I'm always looking for new techniques that help my lower grow strength. Great information!

A lot of good exercises in this book. Some are a bit advanced but achievable if you stay with it.

I have subscribed by mistake and I could never refund my money. Stupid way to make money on others

Fantastic piece of equipment and robustly designed and manufactured - much better than those little hamster wheels.

It is not what I expected. I need the real An wheel not the manual or tutorial. I need a refund please.

Good service. Not the most detailed book but not a subject that can be expanded on that much. Would recommend.

I have not received it
