Looking to take your ab strength and definition to the next level? Grab your ab wheel and we’ll get to work!
I’m always looking for simple, effective ways to push my workouts further and take them to the next level. Enter the ab wheel! With this one simple piece of equipment you can more effectively train your abs, chest, and shoulders in one simple (but not easy!) exercise. Today I wanted to share with you my personal favorite go-to workout on the ab wheel as well as give you some pointers about proper form and injury avoidance. Should be a lot of fun; let’s get to work!

The only equipment you’re going to need for this one is an ab wheel. While there are dozens of makes and models on the market, my personal favorite is the Ab Carver Pro by Perfect Fitness. The handles are larger and more comfortable and the internal spring mechanism offers a great “spot” when needed to maximize your ab training. Check out more information on the Ab Carver Pro by clicking on this link.
See the following video for a killer ab workout as well as tips and advice:
THE WORKOUT
Carve Straight – 10 reps
Carve Right – 10 reps
Carve Left – 10 reps
Repeat three times!
Important points to remember…
1. Keep your back flat throughout the entire motion. Do not let your back sway or arch down toward; keep your stomach/core engaged the whole time.
2. Carve left and right. This works the obliques as well as the rectus abdominis muscle
3. Keep your weight on your hands. Keep your core muscles engaged by keeping the weight on your hands and off of your knees.
Following these tips should make your next ab wheel workout more challenging, more dynamic, and ultimately more effective!
