Wheel of Torture

Charger · 02-12-2001, 04:25 PM

I purchased this simple looking wheel with handles on both side from Wally World the other day, $8.95 It is like a ab roller. Talk about a killer ab workout!!! It says to do 3 sets of 7 to start I believe and I did 3 sets of 12, felt nothing. The next day it felt like someone had cut me from my chest down below my belly button. I tried the wheel again and couldn't do one. Now I'm back up to 3 sets of 12 but still feel them. Best 9 bucks I've spend on equipment.

I think anything could hurt you if you're not careful and "ready" for the exercise.

In the case of the ab roller, I think a person should start with crunches and other ab exercise first, and build up to using it. And of course start out very slowly, e.g. one set of 8 reps, and gradually increse over time.

train hard!
