Exercise (Abdominal) wheel

dwhl

Hi guys,
Where would I find a decent exercise wheel to work on my tummy? They are basically a wheel or a couple of wheels with handles protruding from either side that you use to roll on the floor and hence work on your abs. Would prefer a double wheel one as they appear more stable.
Have seen a couple in the UK but appear much more expensive than the ones in the US..
Thanks for your help

I would not bother if i was you ,i just read a review of those things in mens health magazine. They say it wont improve you abs, infact you are more liable to hurt your back. :eek:

I used to have/use one and suffered chronic back pain because of it.:rolleyes: My chiropractor said she'd seen many people needing treatment because of using these things and said they should be banned.
If I were you, I'd steer well clear ...
