Using the Exercise wheel for incredible abdominal results

Anytime a piece of exercise equipment has a nickname that includes the word DEATH, you know two things: One, it hurts, and two, it works. There is no question that the exercise wheel fits into both categories.

The exercise wheel is a small, harmless looking wheel with a handle attached to either side. Those that are familiar with the exercises associated with this little tool respect its power. The exercise wheel, often called the “Wheel of Death” is an incredibly effective abdominal training device that provides an exceptional workout to your entire core as well.

To give the exercise wheel a go for the first time, two words come to mind…BE CAREFUL! This innocuous looking device can hurt you if you don’t use it properly or are undertrained. I recommend that folks have a good background of solid core training before even approaching this device. Having said that, let’s ROLL right into a quick workout.

First of all, you will want to start on your knees so make sure you are on some padded carpet or have some workout flooring underneath to help cushion your knees. Crouch down on the floor with your hands firmly gasping the handles of the wheel. Before you even BEGIN to move forward, make certain you are stabilizing your core properly. If you don’t know what this means, STOP and do some research as you may not be ready for what is ahead. Ok, assuming you are good to go, continue breathing while stabilizing the core and begin to roll forward. Move slow but deliberately until your chest is near the ground and your arms are fully extended out in front of you. If you are engaging your core muscles properly, you should not feel pain in your lower back. If you feel pain, slowly rest your chest on the ground and let go of the wheel and slowly get up. If you feel no pain, then work to move backwards along the same path you just took, again focusing on breathing and stabilizing the core. Most beginners find that just a few of these is fine at first, as the exercise is so effective that after only four or five reps, you WILL feel it the next day…even those that have trained their core before.

The above exercise is level one, beginner. The great thing about this amazingly effective ab training device is that it can progress as you do. If you have knocked out the basic exercise, next you can simply twist slightly while going forward and go in a curved line to the left or right which will hit your obliques and serratus muscles in ways you never thought possible before. In addition, for the REALLY advanced, the exercise wheel can be utilized from a standing position as well; this is something only the severely sick (joke, kidding) will attempt.

Exercise wheels are portable, inexpensive, and ridiculously effective. If a ripped and extremely powerful core is what you are after, then make the “wheel of death” part of your workout arsenal. Oh, it cost less than 3 lattes from your corner coffee spot too!

Hello and welcome to the Mr. Fat Loss blog!

This has been something I’ve wanted to do for awhile and with everybody  coming into the marketplace with a variety of fat loss products that promise the stars and the moon, plus make you look fabulous…I thought a personal guide to assist you would be a good idea!

The main reason is that I want to help you with sorting out some of the fluff and provide some direction for you while  you look for the right fat loss program that’ll help you.

After 32 years of personal experience with exercise, fitness and health…I still look for the “new” the better, the faster or best fat loss program.

Its very hard and determining the “best or right” program can be challenge when all the information is sounding pretty much the same, just a different person or company promoting the next “magic bullet.”

I’d like to provide you with as many resources available so you can look for yourself and measure the claims made by each of the experts on the marketplace. Along with the ones I feel are important to include when putting together and building effective fat loss programs.

I’ll also be very blunt in many cases, not to offend , but to shake some of you up that have been saying you are “trying, thinking about or should” do something or that “it’s too hard to change” a bit more than “doing” what you should be doing to accomplish healthy fat loss as your goal.

In my mind, over all improved mental and physical health should be the goal of everyone on the planet…actually, to be the best human being you can. But, without making this a political forum or blog, instead comments focused on important fitness and health related topics will be welcome and appreciated with fat loss more as a side benefit of healthy lifestyle changes.

I also will have people from around the globe looking at the information here with the translator bar in all dialects available…so welcome visitors! Along with that there are a few sections you may want to explore which contain elements you might not currently have employed in your own fat loss programs.

These individuals in my professional opinion are some of the best in the world and will offer you a lot of information so that you can judge their abilities for yourself before going any further.

In addition, there will be variety of teleseminars, videos, articles and Q & A opportunity with so much new information related to any and all areas regarding fat loss strategies…with fantastic, thought provoking content.

Although it seems that each year new ideas come out about the best or fastest method for fat loss…human beings have not changed physically in a long time and unlike technology, do not adapt or evolve as quick.

Same stuff that got people lean a hundred years ago, still works today…hard, purposeful work.

That being said, you will not find a short cut method here, nor will I endorse it, but just common sense approaches to an age old desire…lean muscle.

Thank you for stopping by,

Mr. Fat Loss
