The Ab Roller is one of the most popular fitness products in the world. In various brands it is represented in almost all the gyms in the world. The reason why it's so popular is that its perceived as a product that helps you do crunches while supporting your neck. As neck aches are a common complaint of many trainees, this seems like the perfect solution.
On one hand this is indeed a benefit. However, you will never learn proper form if you stick to using this machine forever. The truth is that you need to learn to simply keep your neck straight by looking up at the ceiling and not pulling on your head with your hands. The moment you learn the right form and really make it into second nature, the supporting benefit of the Ab Roller is erased.
However, for beginners, this product can prove useful. If you haven't been doing ab exercises at all and your stomach muscles are weak, this can be a good product to use. However, don't become addicted to it. Use it for a short time until you learn the proper form and then work without it.
You should also be aware of the limitations of this product. Some people who use this machine and believe that it will somehow get the flat abs. This may lead to eventual disappointment.
The reason is that the Ab Roller can't help you burn off belly fat. It only offers low-medium intensity exercise capability. It can't do more.
In addition, losing belly fat in order to flatten your abs requires watching over your nutrition very carefully. You need to have some kind of eating plan that's focused on fat loss. Don't expect miracles from this product alone.
So, use this machine if you like but don't expect too much of it.
