Perfect Fitness Ab Carver Pro

Get Results

The Perfect Fitness Ab Carver Pro is an ab wheel with a patented design that improves the effectiveness of ab exercises and helps to engage and strengthen muscles in the back, chest, arms, and core. Unlike traditional ab wheels, the Ab Carver Pro uses a unique carbon steel spring mechanism that provides resistance as users roll out and assistance as they roll back, engaging muscles more thoroughly. While most ab rollers feature flat wheels that only allow for rolling straight out and back, the Ab Carver Pro features a wide, spherical wheel that helps users engage all ab muscles, including obliques, by pivoting to the right and left. This helps to strengthen deep core muscles that stabilize the pelvis and spine. The Ab Carver Pro also features padded, angled, ergonomic hand grips that maximize engagement of arm muscles while remaining comfortable and stable. The Ab Carver Pro includes kneepads, a downloadable 21-day workout plan, and a 1-year manufacturer’s warranty.

Resistance Rolling Out

Patented carbon steel spring mechanism provides resistance while rolling out, increasing activation of core and abdominal muscles.

Assistance on the Way Back

The mechanism offers a small amount of assistance when rolling back to the starting position, which allows users to extend farther while minimizing pressure on the lower back.

Ultra-wide Wheel

The ultra-wide, spherical wheel allows users to carve left or right to engage all sets of abdominals, including oblique muscles. The increased wheel width offers stability and balance.

Ergonomic Handles

Unique ergonomic padded handles are angled to help optimize engagement of arm and core muscles. These non-slip handles are removable for easy transport and storage.

How Ab Carver Pro Works

38 Core Muscles

The Core consists of more than just the abdominal and oblique muscles; it is comprised of a total of 38 muscles, including the glutes, quads and hamstrings. A strong core provides stability for the entire body.

Work the Deep Core

Ab Carver Pro isolates and strengthens deep core muscles, including the important muscles that connect the pelvis and the spine. Improved core strength increases balance, improves posture and decreases low back discomfort caused by sitting.

Compound Movements

Ab Caver Pro activates numerous muscles groups though the compound movements involved in the roll out exercise. Core, back, chest and arm muscles are engaged in the movement, increasing calories burned as compared to regular sit ups or planks.

Rolling Left and Right

Using the Ab Carver Pro’s unique ultra-wide wheel design to alternate between forward roll outs and pivots to the left and right engages all four sets of abdominal muscles, including both sets of oblique muscles, and works the entire core.

Free 21-day Workout Program

Downloadable plan designed for all fitness levels.

THE VERY BEST FROM THE BEST WHEN IT COMES TO ABS!
4 Stars
THE VERY BEST FROM THE BEST WHEN IT COMES TO ABS!
This is one of those rare fitness tools that actually does exactly what it claims it will do! The first time I saw one of these AB Carver fitness tools being used was back in 2008 during my time at the Pre-BUDs Special Operations Preparatory School in Great Lakes, Illinois. There was this elderly Senior Chief SEAL Instructor whom was infamous for his brutal abdominal concentrated workout routines. However, regardless of the many horror stories regarding this instructor’s ab workouts BUDs students couldn’t help underestimate the elderly Senior Chief on the basis that he simply did not have the athletic physical appearance you would expect of someone rumored to be in such a high degree of fitness... The man had a round plump beer belly that he literally seemed to almost be flaunting with a high degree of pride even when just casually walking. He looked like someone who would be ready to drop after just 10 sit-ups if doing so was at all possible for someone with such a beer gut... However, that mindset changed real quick the very first time he led one of our class’ PT (physical training) sessions. Furthermore, all of us could barely believe what our very eyes saw once his shirt came off towards the end of our brutal PT session. This elderly Senior Chief SEAL Instructor had rock hard abs on top of his plump beer belly gut! It was one of those things that in order to believe it you had to personally witness it firsthand and even than it was still hard to believe. We later found out that the Senior Chief’s extreme level of elite abdominal fitness was in great part due to using this perfect ab carver fitness tool or at least one identical to this one. Oh, and the term “beer belly” regarding the Senior Chief’s large gut was later confirmed to be 100% on point regarding its development being due to large consumptions of beer at a rate and quantity few in this world could keep up with if any at all.... So, YES! The Ab Carver will actually literally CARVE OUT YOUR ABDOMINAL MUSCLES! The only reason I’m not giving this a full 5-star review is because whomever decided purple would be a good color for this awesome fitness tool was clearly not thinking straight, was high, drunk, or all 3 lol!

Due to a neck injury, years ago, I have lost a lot of strength in my arms and have had upper back, shoulder, and neck problems. I thought i'd give this a try for upper body reconditioning. i have been starting off slow and am not even sure how much of this type of exercise i can take, but, so far, taking it slow, i'm feeling it in the back of my arms and rib area under arms at the sides (good type of hurt!), and it seems to be helping my neck and shoulder pain (so far), but I don't feel it yet in my abs. this could be a long, long row to hoe for me, but i'm hoping ... baby steps for now. it's difficult to give a good review for an item I've barely used but have so much hope for, but, if i'm able to keep at it, i'll be back for an update as so my progress ... hopefully a good one. i'm also doing the hard body roller for my upper back, and it has helped, too (snap, crackle, and pop in my shoulder blade areas ... from the old neck injury but feels so good). the body roller isn't helping my arm strength, tho. looks like, if i can do it, i'm into both these items for the long, slow haul.

UPDATE ALREADY (03/19/14): i had done 2 test runs on the carver before beginning the schedule, and, last night, i was only on week 1, day 2 but already began to feel it a little in my abs ... a miracle! yay!! :) and i'm only rolling a little more than 2-1/2 feet forward (for now). however, i couldn't complete the side rolling 3 reps of 5, tho ... only did 1 rep of 5 each side, so i'm modifying slightly with just what my body can handle. at my age (67), I'd begun to feel that it would be impossible to gain back any strength and tone in my arms, shoulders, and neck ... so we'll see. if this works even a little, it might be encouraging for other older women in my same situation ... chronic full-back pain, severe osteoporosis with 2 known but mostly healed lumbar fractures, and, of course, the old neck injury that shot pain into my neck, shoulder blades, and shoulders since February 1997. also, i'm hoping this counts as weight bearing. if i can do this, anyone can! lol i just hope i can stay motivated. the way i see it, if it's easy enough and i get results, i'd be a fool not to.

so far, I've not had any bad problems with the ab carver spring action. i have found that, if i start out a little closer to my knees on the first roll forward, it won't stop too soon on the return roll, but, by the 8th roll it doesn't return all the way again. I just hope this doesn't get any worse and wonder if there is something wrong with my ab carver. also, the flimsy-looking knee pads are helpful, too! i tried using the carver without the knee pads, and the pads really do make a huge difference (small bony protrusion in my right knee from an old fracture).

UPDATE (03/21/14): since my arms have been so weak for so long, I seem to be stuck somewhere between day 1 and day 2 (week 1) on the schedule. last night, I also felt it in my mid back (fracture area), so I need to be careful. I think the point is to do what I can and don't push much past that point. after all, the whole program is designed to be repeated as one improves and progresses thru it. my injured right knee is a problem now on the knee pads, so I keep it bent on the forward roll with the injured bone off the left side of the pad so it's not touching anything. I'm also trying some easy modified push ups. I might end up doing week 1 for quite some time ... spacing the reps out thru the day, too, instead of trying to do them in one session with short breaks between. if and when I get to the point where I can advance to week 2, i'll return with an update (and rejoice much!).

my thoughts are that the whole structure of the body is connected and any little thing i can do in one area should slowly improve other areas. i already have decreased cracking and crunching pain in my neck. and this carver is advertised as an ab toner only? lol i think it's going to do way more than that for me, but we shall see. if I were 20 years younger this would be a piece of cake. in karate class, I was doing 50 finger-tip pushups when I was in my mid 40s (before I injured my neck). my how things can change. this ab carver is definitely going to be a bit of a struggle for me, but, at this point, i'm willing to keep trying ... better than not trying, right?

UPDATE (03/26/14): taking more hints from other reviews I've read, I've modified even further. since my arms muscles seem to give out more quickly by taking breaks between the short sets, I've started doing longer sets. today, I was able to roll 30 repetitions in 1 set before giving out, and my forward roll measured a little over 2 feet ... doing more reps per set with a shorter roll. I've also eliminated the side rolls (for now). also, I probably don't roll as slowly as some because, years ago, I had read that slow movements build muscle mass, and faster movement tone. for me, I think this will help me more. I remember that, in karate class, movements were very fast, and I was lean, toned, and strong back then. in short, i'm not giving up ... just modifying the original carver program to suit my personal needs. if there's a better (faster) way to gain strength and tone my muscles. without injuring myself, i'd appreciate helpful suggestions. as it was, today, I was able to do 30 repetitions in 1 set before giving out. before, when I tried to do 3 sets of 10 reps, I gave out more quickly. as it is, i'll do another set later today and see how far I get. I can't wait for the day when i'm strong enough to really begin the "official" program as presented in the pdf file. btw, I am feeling it more in my abs, as time passes, and I've learned how to not strain my back ... seems I need to pull in on my abs and keep my back perfectly straight while rolling. for anyone who might be in a similar situation to me (osteoporosis with fractures and ddd), I hope I've been able to help. for the younger, more fit, individual, this review might be very boring, but for a few others (like me), I hope you can identify and not give up too soon (as some have said in their reviews). don't be impatient and push too hard, too soon. baby steps for me!!! :D I'm going to try for 40 reps in 1 set tonight. when I can do 50 reps in a set fairly comfortably, I might try to change to 2 sets of 25 reps ... whatever my body can handle. sure don't need any more compression fractures in my spine! maybe in 6 months, i'll be able to work up to a complete roll forward and back every now and then! wouldn't that be nice? I still call this an easy form of exercise ... even with the stuggle! but it's all good!!!

03/28/14 ... finally had to switch to using a pillow for my knees ... no way I can let a thing like knee pain stop me from carving now. even tho i'm still in the infant stages of carving, i'm addicted! also, I notice that some "baby fat" on my abs is starting to melt! <yay!> so anyone out there who thinks that if they can't carve per the program schedule yet, don't be discouraged. anything you can do is a help for your body.

04/09/14 ... almost 3 weeks since I first put my hands on the ab carver, and I finally got a good burn going in my abs ... FINALLY! I still can't do many reps (20-30 reps), but i'm able to roll farther and get more stretch, so my arm muscles are strengthening (slowly). I just can't believe how great the ab burn feels! :)

What can I say, but that it is time to sculpt out the abs! And this here my friend, will do just that! I've been a long time user of the Perfect Fitness brand, and it has not failed me. The extra force in the coming back motion, is something to consider when using these rollers. No other roller has that function. I'm not a physicists so, whether it plays a huge part, or if it's just placebo effect, who knows! It feels awesome! Eager to put it to use, and get going!

5.0 out of 5 stars An optimal ab wheel.

I'm a pretty skinny tall dude who's been looking to get in shape the past few months. Shamefully, I've never had enough stable income to afford a gym membership as they're rather expensive where I live, and I don't see that changing soon. Therefore, my best option was to peep the sitch on what sort of new workout equipment the late-night infomercials were hawking. Long story short, the AbCarver Pro was what I ended up choosing. It was in my price range and seemed legit, so what do I think so far?

Well, it's basically an optimized ab wheel. Why should you buy this over one of the many cheaper alternatives? I think there are a few reasons why it's worth shelling out a little extra for. The biggest feature it boasts is the spring inside which provides extra resistance on the push, and helps you come back, allowing you to keep good, consistent rhythm during the workout. This spring is fairly durable. I noticed some other reviews mention that it broke, but I feel that this could only be the result of improper assembly or shipping because it's made of sturdy metal. Secondly you have the handles, which are optimized to position your arms in a way that will activate your triceps. Despite the name, this wheel is also viable for working your arms out, allowing you to multitask while adding comfort to the grip. Lastly, there is the width and shape of the wheel itself. It's quite wide and features a safe tread so you can use it on any surface without ruining your floor. While some could argue that the extra width might make it too easy, one must bear in mind that with more narrow wheels, you are using your hands and wrists more than your arms or abs to keep it balanced, and that won't help you much. More narrow wheels can also loosen over time, whereas I think this was built to last. Oh, and do everything you can to buy it on Amazon and NOT the official website! They will charge you extra and the billing info you enter has to be exact down to capitalization, and they won't tell you that your order didn't go through until days later.

Anyways, it also comes with some high-density foam kneepads which help quite a bit and can also be used as a "marker" for your starting position. The box has some basic instructions in it but mostly just tells you to visit their site to see different routines you can do. I wouldn't have minded a DVD or something, but whatever. You can use a wall or something (I used a box) to gauge how far you need to go for each rep and back yourself up from there if you want to extend it. One annoying thing is that you have to sometimes "reset" the spring, but you only need to lift it up to do that. The kneepads also seem to slide a little (on my wood floor, anyway). You can also mix it up by carving left and right, like the commercial states.

As for my personal results, I've only been using it for roughly half a month and I definitely feel my arms and abs activating with each session, using it 2-3 times a day for just a few minutes. It's fairly simple to achieve proper form and will help you obtain a strong core. Make no mistake, it's a tough workout, but hey, that's how you get results. One thing I should note is that this is the only workout I've ever done that has helped the bad back I have had since I was a child (I know, 23 with a bad back, it sucks). I have had much less difficulty bending over and that sort of thing.

In closing, I would definitely recommend this if you are specifically looking to work out your abs and arms since it doesn't do much else. It should go without saying but make sure to maintain a balanced diet if you want those abs to show through. Eat those veggies, kids! There are a lot of diet plans online that should be within your price range, but that's a different story entirely. If your local gym or fitness center happens to have one, try it out there and see what you think before purchasing, if you're on the fence about it.

The media could not be loaded.
 Woah - this is so noisy. The spring inside kind of sounds like nails in a can. I thought my product was defective so I ordered a second one, but the second one was the same unfortunately. It sounds louder in real life than in the video. The thing is pretty bulky in comparison to other ab wheels and will take up space when not being used. The best part about this is the handle grips, super comfortable and feels so natural - Loved those! I wish these handles were available on a different ab roller. Can't recommend this product to anyone unless you have stray cats you're trying to scare away.

La mera verdad se ve chafon (plástico x) el acabado final, en la foto de la publicidad se ve como si fuera plástico que ofrece un toque como de aluminio y acabados premium , más no lo crean ese color guinda es real pero totalmente mate o opaco, Estupendo en lo que respecta a diseño y funcionalidad, Excelente la anchura de las ruedas para dar comodidad y facilidad para ejercitar otorgando maxima estabilidad... Los videos que ofrecen nunca los encontré en su página ni en ninguna parte, las almohadillas para las rodillas (un fiasco) realmente son para decir que trae algo en dotación, porque realmente no hacen su cometido como deberían
