It seems that every month a new piece of ab workout equipment makes it’s way on the infomercial airways promising to trim your abs and shape your buns. And of course they always say that it’s easy and fun, and of course, any one can do it. According to statistics only 2% of the people who buy exercise equipment are still using it 6 months later. The reason is that most people don’t set goals, they don’t have a long range plan and they don’t keep score.
With all the obstacles and distractions in this world it’s imperative that one take inventory of themselves and keep a record of their progress. It’s a good idea to know where you are and where you’re going.
You can enhance your mid section workout with a good piece of equipment. I’ve tried just about everyone on the market and can’t find anything that beats the Power Wheel by Lifeline. It’s the best core trainer on the market. You can pick one up for about $50.00. It comes with a DVD demonstrating the basic exercises that will help melt away the spare tire around your belly.
You can use the Power Wheel to supplement other exercises or use it exclusively to train your core. It’s unique in that in trains your entire core and also your arms, shoulders and upper back. Be careful though, it’s easy to over do it the first time you use it which will result in extreme soreness the following day. Start off doing 1 set of 5 repetitions working up to 3 sets of 10 repetition for each of the 5 or 6 exercises.
While you’re waiting for the Power Wheel to be delivered to your house, you can use a hardbound book or some other easily moveable object.
Kneel on the floor and place your hands on the book in front of you.
Inhale and begin pushing yourself forward. Only go as far as comfortable.
Exhale and pull yourself back to the beginning position.
Do no more than five repetition to start. More will make you sore.
When your Power Wheel arrives following the DVD instructions and have fun.
