A toned belly is what everybody wants. But, most people often misinterpret it as a flat stomach, whereas it actaully is more related to a strong core. The stronger your core becomes, the more fat you will burn automatically. The strength of the core can be improved with muscle building exercises such as planks or holds. Another type of workout that can be performed for increasing the strength of the abdomen along with shedding those accumulated calories is the ab wheel routine. In general, this is an extension to the plank position while rolling out or rolling in with an ab wheel. This simple looking device does wonders when used efficiently and in the correct manner.

The two handles connecting a wheel may seem a tool which is easy to work with, but that is certainly not the case. Working with this equipment involves complete body strength, which includes, but does not limit to, arms, core, legs, shoulders, and more. The control that one needs while training with an ab wheel is another challenge altogether.

Shalini Bhargava, a fitness expert and the director of JG’s Fitness Centre also seconds the fact and says, “As you put your entire body weight on the equipment while exercising, you should take care of the fact that the ab wheel is in complete control of you, lest you will fall on your face.” She adds, “Also, you have to synchronise both the lower and the upper abs while you have good control from your hip flexors to your shoulders.
