The Ab Roller

By: Jessica Durnian

What does it do?

The ab roller is an exercise machine that works your abdomen

It can be used by anybody all shapes and sizes

It’s specifically used for the crunch unless you get the evolutionary model that can flip over and be used as an upper body trainer.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON’T WANT TO LOOK LIKE THIS…..

AND WANT TO LOOK MORE LIKE THIS…

MEDIA

The commercial for the ab roller states that it gives you flat abs and gets rid of those love handles.

It gives you proper neck and back support unlike the regular crunch.

Sculpting abs with just minutes a day in 30 days guaranteed.

Ab Roller Evolution

SCIENTIFIC STUDY

The ab roller is to be used by beginners only or individuals with back or neck pains.

If this machine is used by avid gym goers they will feel no burn at all by doing this exercise.

Also, this machine does not burn stomach fat, and to get noticeably muscular abs you need to first burn the stomach fat.

To burn stomach fat you need to eat a nutritious meal, do cardio workouts, and do full body training. There is absolutely no way doing this ab roller for minutes eat day is going to get you ripped abs like they promise.

The only true claim that was made by the ab roller was that it did indeed support the neck and head to give the support needed to make the average crunch that much easier.

TO CONCLUDE

If you are a beginner or have neck issues, this is a good machine for you. It gives you the support you need to make difficult crunches easier.

If you are trying to get Channing Tatum-like chiseled abs, this is not the right machine for you.

Also, to get yourself in any type of shape, especially the abdomen area, much more is needed than just ab workouts such as cardio and a nutritious diet.
