I bought an ab wheel not too long ago but was already familiar with it. My perception before i bought it was that it would help me mostly with theabs, but as I started using it I did realize that it was a full body workout (I feel mostly my upper body). In addition I feel however that my lower back works a lot more than my abs... Does everyone elser feel that as well? Is that maybe typical in the beginning until I strenghten my core? Thanks. Hi.

To put the emphasize on abs, do not use your arms when coming back, otherwise the emphasize of the workout will be on back and lats. If you do not feel the burn in abs then the form is incorrect. Also for reverse style, instead of spending $60 for the fancy version, you can purchase one of those mini skateboards at Wal-Mart, put your shoes on and then place your toes on the skateboard while your palms or fists/knuckles are placed on the ground and then pull your feet towards your chest without bending the knees as your buttocks go up. If that is too intense then try bending the knees 90 degrees and the do the same. This is an excellent exercise that works various muscles in arms, back, lats and abs.

I bought an ab wheel and began using it about 1 weeks now. I already can feel the difference. Besides the Pain, I feel strong in my core.

It's a complete upper body workout. Ab straps are unnecessary. If you have a pull-up bar, you don't need anything extra for doing hanging leg lifts. I would definitely get the ab wheel.

I have some questions again,I'm considering to buy either ab wheel or ab strap right now.. which do you think will give me the best workout? and does the ab wheel really works the back?
