This is an excellent product if used properly, if you were new to a gym you wouldn't jump straight onto the heavy weights. its the same with this. You should start on you knees with a small motion and then progress.
If used properly it is a wonderful excercise which gives great results. As always talk to your doctor before using.

In regards to the reviewer who said this product is unstable - yes, it is. That is part of the point. Using something naturally unstable, i.e. a roller with a single wheel puts considerably more stress on your abs, and engages far more muscles in order to keep you balanced. This is a very good thing! In much the same way as doing free weights in the gym will give you a much better workout, and engage a great deal more tiny stabiliser muscles than opposed to using a machine, with only one possible plane of motion - so this roller will hit your entire core much harder than using a roller with more wheels to keep you balanced.
This is a very challenging exercise to do, even for those who are reasonably fit, so take things slow, as always, and build up over time. Starting on your knees is obviously the way to go, to do a full extension and return from your toes will require some super-human conditioning!
This roller isn't made to last very long, but it does the job well, and doesn't cost the earth.

This Ab Wheel is fantastic for those who wish to develop their core strength and abdominal muscles in the gym, at home or whilst away from both! It is light-weight and is easy to collapse into two parts for easy transport.
As stated in several other reviews this is not a piece of equipment that should be launched straight into; basics should be applied first to ensure good strength and balance of all the muscle involved. Simple exercises like "The Plank" can do this before you progress onto the wheel.
If your body is ready for this then you can't go far wrong - great product, great price!
