Hi Guys,

I am planning to buy an abs roller by next month. I will use it mainly for home purpose on days when I cant access the gym for my abs workout. Before I buy it I do want to ensure if its a worth buy? Has anyone used it? When I use it I really find it quite difficult. The abs really get a good stretch. However I really dont know the science behind it like does it really work for ur abs and develops muscles? I do know the importance of deadlifts, squats etc and the fact tht one needs to get lean in order to show 6 packs. But my questions is mainly abt this product and whether its effective or not?

here is an URL

Pls do share ur opinion.

I own one of those and it works really well in my opinion. It's a nice change of pace from standard crunches. The trick is keeping your back straight when using it. Another thing that works well is one of those inflatable balls. It lets you get a wider range of movement than a standard crunch, or even the ab roller.
