Foam Roller
Yes, this is a foam roller. It looks weird, but it actually makes your workouts a little more interesting by incorporating those all-important stabilizer muscles. Lie on it to do crunch
es and you'll see what I mean. It's cheap, it's versatile and, in a pinch, it can be used to bonk annoying people on the head without hurting them.

d help target those hard-to-reach ab and back muscles. Working your abs doesn't have to be about hundreds of crunches. You won't have to do very many Ab Rolls or Twists to feel the burn!

If you want a piece of equipment that isolates your abdominal muscles there are lots out there. The abdominal exercise equipment range from a smaller frame shape (like the one in the picture below) wh
ich helps you maintain good form while performing sit-ups or crunches to a much larger 'weight lifting' ab exerciser found in the gym. All the pieces of equipment work solely on the abdominal exercise
s and will not help with cardio exercise or exercising other parts of the body

Cap Abdominal Wheel
This little wheel looks harmless enough, but it's a great way to work your abs if you're very careful. You simply place your hands on either side and roll it forward as far as y
ou comfortably can and roll back to starting position. You shouldn't roll very far forward as that can tweak your back. Note: this is a very advanced exercise!
