I picked up an ab roller at a yard sale yesterday with video for 5 bucks... Does anyone here ever use one and for how long each day ? And have you noticed any results ??? Will it help flatten my belly ????

I've seen them, they look interesting- never had the fortune to buy one though- let us know how it works out though :)
save your money. bought one, used it for over six month and didn't see a different or felt better after the use.
All it did, gave me a crick in the neck.

I tried to do it and couldn't fell flat on my belly and counldn't get up! LOL
Really? I think they're great! Allows you to get a full range of motion and really feel the burn. I would go to a gym and try one, shoot even the large stores have 'em on the floor now, before buying!
By "ab roller" are you talking about a device that's a wheel with a handle on either side of it?
I've always thought using one made for a pretty quality ab exercise.
Like any ab exercise, it will help to strengthen abdominal muscles.
As far as "flattening your belly", I don't believe there's any way to specifically burn stomach fat. Operating at a caloric deficit is the only way you can really burn fat, and even then it's taken from stores all over your body.
That said, exercises (like ab rolling) do burn extra calories, and thus help you loose extra body fat more quickly.

It gives you a good burning feeling, that's for sure.
I am not very good at describing things...but it sort of looks like a cage with a cushion to support your head to reduce neck strain while it helps you do crunches. I can't do situps.... so I thought this might help me work my stomach area. I have a treadmill which I have been doing 60 minutes of walking 5 days a week. This week I started doing 10 minutes on a row machine and 10 minutes on the ab roller plus... after the treadmill . I like to do it all in the morning to get it over with.
During the month of april we did the abs.. Now we are on the butt.
when i started my ab month in apirl, i used the ab mouse which is another kind of ab roller. It do the same thing but with better support of your upper body weight. I did 3 mins of the ab mouse every day, not only did i do that. I have an ab swing. I would swing on that thing any time i got ready. I was also doing the swiss ball for my abs too- 100 reps on that ball with the ab ball rock. you sit on the ball and you rock and hold, i notice that move got all of my abs.. Not just one part of my abs but all.
It is really good to do.. If you ab roll to the side of your self, you will get the side of your abs. It is really a good one to use. DO you have the ab roller wheel, if so. I will tell you how my uncle got rock hard abs with that thing at 55. and lost 30 pounds.
He ate 6 small meals, and he walked 3 miles every day. After his walk. He come in, and he will do 30 ab roll outs to the center, and then the sides giving a total of 60 all around.
So i say from me using it. I got down in one month from a 35 wasit to a 32 wasit in the end. It really do work. But i used other things too. But i can really fell the burn when i would use the ab roller. Get you a pillow for your knees you will need it..

It works if done correctly. If done incorrectly unnecessary strain can be put on the abs without really seeing results on the ab muscle. The link below has information on how to use the Ab Roller. Good Luck.
