I bought my first ab wheel in 2023 and was blown away by how effective it is. If you struggle with your core strength, it offers a convenient way to train using your body weight as a source of resistance.

Fit&Well staff have reviewed a few different brands over the years, and one of our top picks of the best ab rollers, the Ab Carver Pro, has just gone on sale for Amazon Prime Day. Usually $44.99, it’s now down to $33.74.

Amazon Prime Day runs from July 8 until July 11, coinciding with several other sales events from the likes of Target and Walmart.

If you want a more budget-friendly option, there is also a 41% reduction on the Vinsguir ab wheel, bringing it under the $15 mark.

This little beauty was named best for beginners in our guide, because of the the wide wheel, ergonomic handles and spring mechanism which assists with the return. If you’ve never used an ab wheel before, this is a great place to start.

The Ab Carver Pro is particularly good for beginners due to its internal spring mechanism, which adds resistance on the rollout and assistance on the rollback.

If you already know how to use an ab roller, you know that these features add control to each roll, which beginners often need while building up their core strength.

Amazon reviews score it 4.6 out of 5 stars, which is an increase from when we first tested and reviewed it in 2022. In 2022, 70% of customers gave it a full 5 stars, and that figure is now 77%, so you can rest easy in the knowledge that most of the people who have bought it have loved it!
