The Ab Wheel is one of the cheapest, yet most effective pieces of equipment that you can get for your own personal use. It’s a great exercise that works the core and the upper body. The burn that you get from it is one of a kind and it’s something that I regularly throw into my workouts. Here’s what you do:

First you take the wheel by its handles and you get on all fours. Start out by having the wheel close to your legs. Then, tighten up your core by drawing in your bellybutton.

Slowly roll the wheel forward while maintaining a tight midsection. Come out as far as you can. Hold at the end for a brief moment and then slowly come back to the starting position.

If you want to get the obliques involved (to target those love handles), then as you are coming out from your starting position start turning towards the left or the right. Again, come out as far as you can, hold, and return.

Three sets of this exercise is a great way to target your core. It definitely beats the traditional exercises because it’s a lot of fun and it makes your body work in a totally different way.
