The Flex Belt® vs. Ab Roller

Necessity is the mother of invention, and in Don brown's case, the necessity was a piece of workout equipment that could be used without involving strain on the neck. As a fitness instructor, he had several clients who had been injured yet needed to focus on strengthening their abs. He developed the Ab Roller, a device which works the core muscles as users roll back and forth. Now owned by Tristar products out of Wallingford, CT, the Ab Roller was one of the first products of its type to hit the market, and has been around for many years.

The Ab Roller is a curved metal frame with a cross bar that holds a head rest. Users lie on the floor with their heads on the padded head rest, and their hands on the top section of the frame. By rocking back and forth, the abs are crunched without the head and neck feeling strain. The manufacturer states this is much safer, and less demanding than doing a sit-up. The company offers a 60 day money back refund, less shipping and handling.
