Performance
The question is: does it perform? You’re average, run-of-the-mill ab roller performs just fine. But it’s missing something. You roll it forward, then roll back and that act alone is what strengthens the core. The Perfect Ab Carver Pro says, “Let’s add resistance and a wide wheel.” Use its 21-day workout plan, and you’ll see great results. There’s a carbon steel spring inside the wheel that provides extra resistance when you push and pull, giving your core muscles a much more efficient workout than ever before, including your lower back. The CAP Barbell is simply no match for it.
Design
As mentioned, the Perfect Fitness Ab Carver Pro is an ab roller, but not like your typical ab wheel. It’s much wider in width, which really helps provide stability when you’re rolling; otherwise falling on your face is inevitable. The handles are especially comfortable considering they curve and wrap just slightly around your hands for a safer grip. Unfortunately, it’s simplistic in nature and only really provides one exercise method, though its single method is very effective. For a variety of exercise methods, the Star Uno Ab Machine might interest you more.
Value
Is the Perfect Fitness Ab Carver Pro worth nearly $30? Why not settle for the N1Fit Ab Roller at half the price? Simply put: the N1Fit Ab Roller doesn’t add the kind of resistance that acts as the cherry on top for your core strength exercises. It’s that little extra something that really improves your overall results. It also isn’t a hulking machine that will take up a tonne of real estate—and money—like the Ab Doer 360. Furthermore, a knee pad is tossed in, which is much appreciated.
Perfect Fitness Ab Carver Pro Wrap Up
The Perfect Fitness Ab Carver Pro proved to be a great evolution to the design of the ab wheel. In its purest form, ab rollers work out your core—but that added resistance in the form of a carbon steel spring, ergonomic handles and a foam knee pad really bring the ab roller into this century.
