Get fit to the core with simple, portable ab trainers and core trainers. Canadian Tire has a wide range of equipment that target abdominal, back, and pelvis muscles. Here are some of the top fitness devices.
Ab Crunchers
These are light-weight ergonomic trainers that help you perform perfect crunches safely and comfortably while lying down. Crunchers can be used by people of all fitness levels.
Ab Wheels & Ab Rollers
These trainers primarily target abs, but also help you tone arms, shoulders, and back muscles. Unlike ab crunchers, this workout involves positioning yourself with your knees on the floor and pushing the wheels forward in front of your body. Ab wheels come in either one wheel, or two small wheels. These devices come with detailed workout guides that should be followed closely for safety and best results. Rollers involve the same forward, floor facing motion, but are often just one piece of equipment. Both wheels and rollers offer the benefits of targeting multiple muscle groups and being portable, packable fitness equipment options.
Suspension Trainers
These core trainers help you tone your abs and core using your own body weight. The workout involves attaching the suspension cords to a stable wall or doorframe. While holding the trainer’s handles, you pull or push your body forward and upright from a backward leaning position. Suspension trainers are versatile and can often be used in different methods to target other parts of the body or muscle groups.
Core Boards, Fitness Circles & Fitness Gliding Discs
These three trainers are multi-use fitness devices. They are meant to enhance the impacts of core workouts. The fitness circle provides extra resistance when you hold it while performing standard crunches for extra resistance. The core board improves balance while working the abs by standing on top of it and rotating your body. The gliding discs engage core muscles and strengthen abs as you use them under your hands or feet to perform a variety of exercises.
Core trainers and ab trainers are affordable, space-saving exercise and fitness accessories that could fit into any fitness routine. Always consult with instructions to ensure you are working out safely and effectively.
