Perfect Fitness Ab Carver Roller Wheel With Built In Spring Resistance, At Home Core Workout Equipment

Works great even on my thick, soft carpet. I was a little worried about the handles touching the carpet due to their canted design, but they work no problem. The handles are very ergonomic and their is enough spring resistance that it's not too much struggle, or too much assistance.

The Perfect Fitness Ab Carver Pro delivers serious results. The angled design and resistance coil add intensity while protecting your lower back. It targets your entire core—abs, obliques, and even shoulders—with stability and control. Compact, durable, and far more effective than a standard ab wheel. A must-have for anyone serious about core training.

Initial notes:- This alone will not give you abs. Only low body fat percentage will do that, which is done by proper nutrition and burning fat via exercise.- The Ab Carver is simple but intense. I would not recommend this if you are moderate to severely overweight as it is puts a lot of weight on your upper arms and you may not be able to do it properly.- Read as much about the human body and how it works as you can. Understanding your body is a biological machine that requires proper maintenance to be the way you want it to be is half of the battle.I have been using the Ab Carver for 21 days now, and just completed the initial training circuit it recommends before increasing the roll distance. In short, this little piece of equipment gives you a high intensity workout in a short amount of time. You'll be working arms, back, shoulders, and most importantly your core. After one use you WILL feel it.When purchasing, first thing you'll need to do is get on the Ab Carver website and print off their instructions and workout schedule. It is ridiculous they do not send this with your purchase, but its likely a ploy to get you to your website. The workout consists of alternating days 3 sets of 10 reps straight out, with 3 sets of 5 for obliques. This increases each week, until day 21 where you will start pushing out farther.Quality of the machine is pretty high. I haven't had any problems with the spring inside, and the handles are pretty firm. The pads they send for your knees are pretty flimsy, but again I never had an issue with using them. Does this machine work? Yes. I am already getting defined upper abs, and working on losing my remaining belly fat to show off the lower abs. I can't stress enough the importance of body fat percentage for abs. If you don't combine this with a caloric deficit and cardio, you will never get visible abs. Running, jogging, biking, anything getting your heart rate up is good for this combined with proper nutrition.I can't tell you how long or how hard you'll have to work to get abs, it can literally take months and months depending on your start point. My advice is not focus too much on gaining that "perfect body" but instead focus on getting a healthy, fit body. For me, I'm on a 60 day plan alternating between running and strength training, with a high protein diet and overall 500 calorie daily deficit. This machine is only a small piece of the overall puzzle to getting in shape, but use it correctly and it is a good tool.Some final tips:1) Develop a plan. You are much more likely to fail if you don't set up a schedule for exercise and also get a meal plan set up.2) Push through what I call the "Disappointing" phase. You're going to be working your butt off, look in the mirror in 10 days, and feel sad because you aren't ripped. Getting a highly fit body will take at least several months, maybe more depending on your start point. Don't expect it after a few hard exercises.3) Be realistic. The people you see in the commercials for these types of machines are professionals paid to have an almost unsustainable low body fat. Aim for being healthy and lean, as being completely ripped will likely be more time that what you'll want to put in (myself included).Thanks for reading, your new body begins with the first roll!*DAY 90 UPDATE* Having continued using this every other day as per the schedule, I am now at the max possbile roll distance and difficulty and have been at this level for several weeks. This has certainly increased my core strength, and has given me some nice visible ab outlines now that my body fat is sub 14%. Machine still works perfectly.

This is one of those rare fitness tools that actually does exactly what it claims it will do! The first time I saw one of these AB Carver fitness tools being used was back in 2008 during my time at the Pre-BUDs Special Operations Preparatory School in Great Lakes, Illinois. There was this elderly Senior Chief SEAL Instructor whom was infamous for his brutal abdominal concentrated workout routines. However, regardless of the many horror stories regarding this instructor’s ab workouts BUDs students couldn’t help underestimate the elderly Senior Chief on the basis that he simply did not have the athletic physical appearance you would expect of someone rumored to be in such a high degree of fitness... The man had a round plump beer belly that he literally seemed to almost be flaunting with a high degree of pride even when just casually walking. He looked like someone who would be ready to drop after just 10 sit-ups if doing so was at all possible for someone with such a beer gut... However, that mindset changed real quick the very first time he led one of our class’ PT (physical training) sessions. Furthermore, all of us could barely believe what our very eyes saw once his shirt came off towards the end of our brutal PT session. This elderly Senior Chief SEAL Instructor had rock hard abs on top of his plump beer belly gut! It was one of those things that in order to believe it you had to personally witness it firsthand and even than it was still hard to believe. We later found out that the Senior Chief’s extreme level of elite abdominal fitness was in great part due to using this perfect ab carver fitness tool or at least one identical to this one. Oh, and the term “beer belly” regarding the Senior Chief’s large gut was later confirmed to be 100% on point regarding its development being due to large consumptions of beer at a rate and quantity few in this world could keep up with if any at all.... So, YES! The Ab Carver will actually literally CARVE OUT YOUR ABDOMINAL MUSCLES! The only reason I’m not giving this a full 5-star review is because whomever decided purple would be a good color for this awesome fitness tool was clearly not thinking straight, was high, drunk, or all 3 lol!
