Forget weights — I'm a personal trainer, and this piece of gym equipment sculpts your abs and shoulders

Man using an ab wheel during ab rollouts in a studio.

I’m just going to come right out and say it. You don’t need weights to build a stronger core. If you want to add a new piece of gym equipment to home ab workouts, make it one that blasts your abs and upper body in one go. I’m talking about ab rollers, obviously.

It would be irresponsible of me to say this bit of kit is all you need, and of course, the ab roller hasn’t been designed for every body. The ab exercise is one of the toughest to get right, but there’s a reason I did 50 reps of the exercise every day for a week — it’s a killer core workout and pretty satisfying when you finally nail it.
