So I’ve been trying to work on my abs without going to the gym (because no time). I’ve been getting sick of planks and I hate crunches with a passion, so I followed some reddit-logo advice and got an ab wheel.

The moment I saw some videos on how to use it, I’m like, “I’m gonna faceplant so hard when I try this”. So when it arrived, I tested it and sure enough, faceplant. Obviously, my abs aren’t strong enough to keep me up, so more strength and practice in that area would definitely help. But is there anything I can do in the meantime to get there? Some kind of half-rep or something to help me build up my core? Or should I just go back to planks and reverse crunches?

    Oh yeah you’re totally right haha. Tbh I only went with the wheel because I was getting a little bored. I’ll mainly focus on the usual routines like squats and planks and add in the other stuff for flavor.
