This is the ??Fuss?? about the Ab-Wheel:

 
For an abdominal exercise device that targets not only the mid-section extremely well, but the lats, triceps and chest as well, there definitely is justification for praising the ab wheel. Let's see what the fuss is about.

I started using my ab-wheel (on and off) since about the year 2000.
The only time I ceased its use was when I discovered that it made my core and abs so tight, that I couldn't execute some Yogic Abdominal Exercises.

However, when I recently gave up these breathing/abdominal exercises from Yoga, (just didn't want to be too overly involved in that spiritual side of Yoga anymore), I've since resumed the use of the ab-wheel.

Within a few short days, the 6-pack came right back and my arms (mainly the triceps and forearms and upper biceps), have received great benefit in strength and musculature from the forward pushing and pulling.

For how to use it:

-Start with a hand on each grip and kneel down with both knees together on the floor.

-Lock your arms and hold the wheel at your knees on the floor.

-Slowly roll the wheel out and away from your knees and continue going forward until your hands are beyond your head.

-Do not touch the floor; your body should be 3-6 inches above the floor. Return to the starting position by pulling in with your abdominal muscles and arching your back.

-Keep your arms straight and use your core muscles to return to the starting position again. Breathe in at the start and exhale on the way down. 7-10 repetitions equal one set AND one hell of a workout!

Most of all; dig this, if you go to a store like Sports Authority, Champs or even an Ancient Market, you can get it for only $9.95.

I don't know about you, but if a device that inexpensive can get not only my abs, but perhaps my whole upper-body in great shape and tone, it sure has got my vote.

Perhaps this is why so many gymnastics instructors, boxers, martial artists, weight-lifters and fitness gurus recommend this abdominal exercise device.
For strengthening, toning and exercises the core, it is a superior tool.

Well, I think I'm going to knock 30 reps out right quick; do you care to join me?

In Friendship,

Foras Aje

Foras Aje was born in Washington DC and at the age of four moved with his family to Ijebu-Igbo, Ogun State, Nigeria. It was here that he was endowed by his father with a desire to delve into the cause and reasons for occurrences and results.

This lent itself into finding the solutions to the maladies acne and asthma, of which he was suffering, after other conventional methods proved unsuccessful. Consequently, this placed him on the path of naturopathy otherwise known as drugless healing.

Through a radical change in diet and exercise: (Yoga and Calisthenics), he was able to banish close to a decade of his marring acne and a lifetime of asthma. Along with this came the disappearance of depression, lethargy and a marked increase in overall health and fitness.

Convinced of the efficiency of the methods passed down from great health pioneers, in his words: "My goal is to show as many people as I can the wonderful results of Nature's way of healing the body if she's only given half a chance! There is no limit to the potential the human body has when it adheres to her laws! With proper diet, positive mental attunement and exercise, any and everyone can unshackle the bondage of misery and disease in one's own life."
