If you've never used an ab wheel, you're missing out. They're a super effective way to train your core and abs, and they're pretty good for your balance too. I got mine a little over 18 months ago, wrote about using an ab roller every day, and have been using it religiously ever since. I've never seen such ab definition on my body, despite years of lifting weights, and it still seems to be changing my body.

While the ab wheel I use is discontinued, a similar one from our selection of the best ab rollers has a 33% discount for Amazon Prime Day. Already affordable, with a list price of $33.99, snap up this deal and start training your abs more effectively today. You won't regret it! Combined with a full-body kettlebell routine (I use this 50lb cast iron kettlebell from the Amazon Basics range), I'm the fittest and strongest I've ever been.

As I mentioned above, this Vinsguir model was featured in our round-up of the best ab rollers and is a perfect addition to any home gym. My colleague who tested the Vinsguir roller found that the chunky 3.2in wheel worked smoothly for all the classic ab roller moves: pikes, ab rollouts and balance push-ups. I love my ab roller for similar reasons: the chunkiness of the wheel and the non-slip material on the handles, so this is an excellent equivalent.

It also boasts a healthy 4.5 out of 5 stars on Amazon, with more than 20,000 customer ratings—so it's not just the Fit&Well team who rate it highly.

If you're looking for something a bit more challenging, then Vinsguir offer a "difficult" ab wheel option that is also reduced for Prime Day. Discounted by 15%, you can get the slimmer version of the above wheel for just $11.88 down from $13.99. But be warned: the smaller the wheel, the harder it is to control. That makes for a harder abs workout, but that's not always right for beginners.
