Cap Abdominal Wheel
This little wheel looks harmless enough, but it's a great way to work your abs if you're very careful. You simply place your hands on either side and roll it forward as far as y
ou comfortably can and roll back to starting position. You shouldn't roll very far forward as that can tweak your back. Note: this is a very advanced exercise!

BOSU
This doesn't look like a traditional ab thingamajig and it's not. The BOSU (short for 'Both Sides Up) had a flexible dome on top and a flat platform underneath that allows you to stand, jump,
squat, twist and bounce to challenge your stability. Your abs and back are greatly involved in balance and stabilization, so the BOSU is a great tool for working your core without so much as doing on
e boring crunch. A great way to work your abs!

If you want a piece of equipment that isolates your abdominal muscles there are lots out there. The abdominal exercise equipment range from a smaller frame shape (like the one in the picture below) wh
ich helps you maintain good form while performing sit-ups or crunches to a much larger 'weight lifting' ab exerciser found in the gym. All the pieces of equipment work solely on the abdominal exercise
s and will not help with cardio exercise or exercising other parts of the body

The Firm: 5-Day Abs
Okay, so this video is pretty dated..it still offers some great workouts. It consists of five different ab workouts that include unusual exercises (not just crunches!) to reduce
boredom and increase abdominal strength. The workouts are quick--just a few minutes long--and really hit your abs from every direction possible. The instructors and the music are a little cheezy, but
you'll forget about that once you're into the workout.
