If you do not have a specific ab wheel, but want to do a similar exercise, you can do the ab roll out on a stability ball. It is not quite as intense, but once you get going, it does get tiring.
Step 1: Start out kneeling down, with your hands resting on a stability ball out in front of you.
Step 2: Roll forward, allowing your arms to go out along the ball. You will be stretched out in a straight line, and your elbows will be centered over the ball.
Return to the starting position and repeat.
