If you want to spend just $5 and get something that will not only abuse your abs but also tone your upper body, get an Ab Roller. Don't laugh, because I laughed until I got one. If you can get to the point where you are doing 5 sets of 25, then you are doing pretty good. BTW, those are sets where your arms are staight and your upper body is parellel to the floor.

You can mix it up by going all the way out and holding for 10 seconds and really burning.

BTW, even if you have been doing all kinds of ab work, you will be sore the first few times you use the Ab Roller. Remember, abs are muscles and they need rest just like other muscles. Don't train abs every day.

My workouts are on the Total Gym. I work the chest, shoulders, and triceps on Monday and Thursday, the back and biceps on Tuesday and Friday, and the legs and abs on Wednesday and Sa****ay. The Total Gym is not real good for the legs so I also incorporate free weights in my workout.
