 Just works September 1, 2010

The ab wheel just worked right out of the box. All I had to do was slide the metal bar through the two wheels and then slide on the two rubber grips. The included tips show you how to use the product correctly and the box showed a good description of the product.
I have noticed that an ab wheel definitely will work out more than just your abs though.
Just as listed August 29, 2010

I knew what I was getting and got what I wanted. works well. great for shoulders and lower back defining.
It's simple, it's great August 27, 2010

I've had one like this for a few years now and think it's great. Many of you will find yourself using it in spurts like me.When you do, you'll be sore for a day or two and that's a great feeling.
Negatives are for those with poor balance. When you first start using this, it may seem awkward and you may loose your balance. After your stabilizing muscles develop, you'll be fine. Definitely worth the $10 price tag.

For a cheap price as the Valeo Dual Ab Wheel's, you may think that it might not be a great workout tool (I know I had doubts), but it has become a beloved workout tool for me. The product comes in a small box with instructions, two wheels, a bar, and the two end-pieces for the bar. You have to assemble the product, but that is very easy to do. Once you first try it, believe me you will likely have a bumpy start - I know I did - but you will eventually get used to it to the point where you can rely on the wheel to move you back and forth without fearing you're going to fall face-first into the ground. I know I had to end up trusting it to do what it's supposed to do - plus, my body (especially my arms) adjusted to using the wheel to guide my upper body in the motions suggested. So, if you're using the wheel for the very first time and want to send it back or throw it in a nearby corner, don't! I know I sensed failure after my first tries with the wheel, but I kept using it. So, if you too sensed using it was a failure in your first few tries, keep at it, you will get used to it, and want to use it over and over. Also, as someone who was worried that this little ol' ab wheel wouldn't support me (the bar and the plastic wheels can bring about doubts), the product is sturdy and can hold its own. Plus, at a price of $10, the Valeo Dual Ab Wheel is a nice item to have for exercise routines for those who can't afford other exercise items above $50.
Great product without flaws, but it is one difficult workout! August 7, 2010

First, I read the review complaining about the grip and "difficult assembly" and have to say they are blatantly wrong.
The grip is perfect, unless you have massive or extremely petite hands, otherwise you are golden! It is plastic, however it is NOT slick, even when your hands perspire the grip remains non-slip.
Assembly has A BREEZE. Two wheels two grips and one sturdy metal rod/axel. Place the wheels on together and slide the grips on to cap both ends of the rod... that's it...
To keep this process simple and easy there are tiny holds on the ends of each grip which allows air to escape, so that they slide on with minimal force, i.e. if you have "trouble" putting this product together, you are not going to be able to perform the workout this item provides...
Seriously, I've had more difficulty opening 2 liter bottles of soda than were presented by assembly...
The workout provided by the wheel is ridiculous, but amazing. @ 220 and 12% body fat I thought I would do "OK" when starting out (as I have never worked out with this apparatus before), but I IMMEDIATELY felt the workout and was sore within 10-15 minutes.
The motion does take a little time to perfect, and it is in your best interest to read directions and take your time to get used to it and believe me you will NOT be able to just take it out of the box and do 20 reps anyway, this thing is a SERIOUS workout.
I considered myself to have a pretty darn strong core, but after my first time, I was shocked to FEEL how much work I had to do. This is clearly a device intended for those who are already at a tremendous level of fitness.
HOWEVER, if you are able to overcome the initial difficulties and embrace the challenge of this piece of equipment over time you will find no better way to strengthen your core, which is the best way to jump start a better overall fitness and more importantly feel better about yourself and all future workout endeavors.
Buy this item, keep your chin up and stick it out once you see how challenging it is and you will reap serious benefits.
Anyone who gave negative reviews were presumably unable to get over that hump and like most people blame everyone and everything but themselves.
As someone who is in the midst of a 100lbs + weight loss, I've learned that diet and exercise begins and ends with discipline, some people have it some people don't, if you know you have it, get this thing work your butt off and feel great as a result. If you are the type looking for an 'easy solution' or think this is just another in a long line of crappy fads, you'll be sorely disappointed.
This thing is awesome!!!
