The Ab Roller abdominal exercises eliminates the strain and pain of lifting your head and shoulders and holding them in the correct position.  Basically the Ab Roller gives you a complete abdominal workout while protecting your neck and back, but again, if you are looking to loose weight this may not be the best method to go about accomplishing your weightloss goals.

The Ab Roller is the exact same exercise machine as the Ab Sculptor.  The Ab Roller and the Ab Sculptor are arguably the 2 best abdominal machines due to their simplicity, light weight, easy range of motion and overall effectiveness to stress the abdominal muscles and we recommend these ab machines only to strengthen your stomach muscles but not for weightloss because in order to loose weight and burn fat you need to begin dieting and following a good healthy nutrition program.

But if your goal is to have great abdominal muscles (meaning to rid the stomach area of its body fat tissue) then the Ab Roller or any other abdominal exercises will be of no use as abdominal exercises can only strengthen, tighten and tone the abs.  The only way to really loose weight, burn fat, and to rid the stomach area of its present level of body fat tissue is to specifically follow a fat burning dieting program which will allow you to loose weight form all over your body, thus allowing you to reach your weightloss goals.

The only true way to loose weight and burn fat tissue is follow a good fat burning dieting plan aimed specifically at burning fat fast.  Abdominal exercise machines do not burn fat tissue all by themselves and if your main goal is weightloss then using ab machines is not really what you are looking for, but rather you need to follow a good fat burning dieting program which will allow you to loose weight from all over your body.
