You can get some ab wheels for about $7 (the cheap plastic ones) or some up to $50
Ab wheels are great to work on your core, but here is another way to do exercises similar to it to work on your core strength!
Cheap Alternative to Ab Wheels+ Exercises to Work on Your Core
Furniture Sliders Are That Great Alternative
Some cool exercises you can try with these are:
- Hand walking (Similar to wheel barrows with a partner holding your legs)
- Jumping Walking Push Ups
- Push them & walk (can add weighted resistance to make this more challenging)
- 2 and 1 Leg Hamstring Curls (Great for activation your hammies before hitting some deadlift)
You can come up with a lot more variations of push ups, planks & hand walking exercises
Cheap Furniture Sliders Get You Abs of Steel
The core is an stabilization muscle & should be worked that way: to stabilize your whole body
These sliders do a great job for that as your always keeping tension in your core
They are Great to warm up for a squat, deadlift, bench press, over head press or any movement that requires you to brace the abs and keep them tight!
You can also use it as a finisher to see how far you can walk in your hands
So there you go, a cool substitute for ab wheels
A little different but gets the job done (and you might even have some at home already!)
Give them a Try & let me know how it goes!
