My hubby made me a version of the ab dolly many years ago. Sadly I haven't used it much. I may have him add handles and see if I use it more that way.

I'll have to check your links. The other names aren't familiar to me!

How awesome! I like the look of the Ab Dolly the most, the second is similar. My local sporting good is carrying the third one, it looks funny though. I read a review and the DVD seems to give a good workout with the resistance bands included.

years ago, either on this forum or the Yaya's forum, people found substitutes for the Ab Dolly, including a trash can dolly that you can get from Home Depot!

https://www.amazon.com/Rubbermaid-Co...s%2C486&sr=8-3

i'll bet you could find videos on youtube for ideas like the ones you linked.

when gliding became popular, there are several videos that use the same movement as the Ab Dolly except you're using gliders.

I see how the trash can dolly would work, they are quite similar actually, it doesn't look as comfortable though, I guess when the Ab Dolly first came out it was more expensive (?) it now cost almost as much as the trash can dolly. I have gliders, but for some reason the Ab Dolly looks more fun the padding looks pretty good and I also like that you can rest the whole forearms for the roll outs, seems safer for my shoulder issues.

I just looked at the Ab Dolly video and my first thoughts were that a lot of those moves could be done with gliding discs, and the moves that can't really be seem like (for me) they could be dangerous in that the ab dolly could get away from me and I can see myself getting injured.

One could get hurt if not careful for sure, especially with their burpee move, looks fun but dangerous if not careful. I used to have an abs rolling device in my 20s, although you can do most with gliding discs, they don't feel the same. The dolly is better than my old device in that you can work your legs as well. Seems like I am talking myself into getting one lol.

I see the ab dolly on CL and FB Marketplace from time to time. I saw at least one listed after the pandemic.
