The Power Wheel is a fitness device that allows you to dynamically improve strength, power and balance in your abdominal belt but also in your arms and legs. Designed to adapt to your hands or feet, this complete equipment requires you to stabilize yourself with each dynamic movement and this by soliciting your abdominals, your back muscles but also your arms and legs.
DESCRIPTION
I know what you are thinking: "Yet another useless abdominal gadget". And when we see the growing number of fitness equipment, each more wacky than the other that we are promoted all day long, we might be tempted to hastily put this equipment in the scam box.
The truth is, most of these abdominal shaping gadgets only work if you combine them with a calorie restrictive diet. No matter how you train, you will never achieve a body fat low enough to see your abs if your diet is not healthy. Keep that in mind while reading this review.
Overview
That being said, the sit-up wheel is probably the most underrated exercise device. This little torture device will give your heart a fantastic workout. On its own, it will already provide you with a very complete workout and will bring variety to your workouts.
First of all, the Power Wheel II is large, with a powerful wheel. a diameter of around 35cm which rotates freely on a long steel shaft. The "pedals" for the feet are also associated with the axle. Your feet are held on the pedals by velcro straps and elastic tubes slip behind your heels to support your foot. However, the rubber tube system for wedging the heels could be improved. It would have had to be fixed under the wedges and then put it behind our heels. It tends to withdraw once in two so greatly limits the value of these toe clips.
Just like any exercise, if you do the ab wheel for too long you will end up getting bored and end up throwing it in a corner of your gym and never reusing it. However, the Power Wheel 2 allows you, in addition to the Rollout movements (basic movement), to strap the wheel to your feet which gives you access to a whole new range of exercises. Before your first attempt with the Power Wheel II, we recommend that you watch the instructional video supplied with it. The exercises on the DVD are well explained and quite varied. (You can also look at our article on the subject)
Even if that seems pretty Easy, make no mistake, the exercises work your heart, glutes, hamstrings, arms and legs at the same time. Don't be surprised if you only manage a few reps at first.
Fortunately, the DVD includes exercises that vary in difficulty, from beginner to intermediate to advanced. The range of exercises with this equipment is amazing and there are always new challenges to be faced.
