【3COINS】Easily establish a training habit by placing your smartphone down! Testing the ab roller

I actually purchased the 3COINS ab roller and tried training while enjoying videos and music using a smartphone stand. Please consider this as a hint for creating a habit of incorporating strength training into your daily life without strain.

Before I knew it, I was lacking in exercise, so I picked up a 3COINS abdominal roller.

When working from home and driving became more common, I found that I was unconsciously spending less time moving my body. Although I was concerned about my lack of exercise, I didn’t have the time to go to the gym. It was then that I discovered the 3COINS abdominal roller.

The reasons I chose it were its affordable price and the feeling that I could keep using it. It has a wide two-wheel design that seems stable, plus it comes with a stand for my smartphone. I was also drawn to the fact that I could work out while watching videos.

I can easily start working out just by placing my smartphone down.

What I found convenient when using it was definitely the smartphone stand. I can check my posture while watching tutorial videos on proper form or display a timer to keep track of my repetitions. Sometimes I play music or my favorite videos to change the mood.

To be honest, abdominal rollers tend to become the kind of tool you think, “I’m tired today, I can just do it tomorrow.”

However, just by placing my smartphone down and playing videos or music, I began to think, “Maybe I’ll roll it out a bit.” When I could see my form, I’d feel like I could do “one more rep,” and when I played my favorite songs, I naturally kept going to the rhythm. There were times I realized I had rolled out more than I had planned.

It may be a small thing, but feeling more positive and thinking “I might be able to keep this up” was a significant change.

The feeling of security that lowers the hurdle of initial challenges

I had an image of the ab wheel being "tough" and "leading to quick failure," but thanks to the assistance, it was smoother than I expected. When I rolled it while kneeling, I could feel it working not just my abs, but also my arms and shoulders.

The next day, I had a pleasant muscle soreness, and I felt my back, which had been rounded from long hours of desk work, stretching out. It's a nice point that just a few minutes of incorporating this can refresh me.

Unexpected reactions from my family made it enjoyable together

While rolling the wheel at home, my child occasionally shouted "Amazing!" Eventually, they said, "I want to try!" and we decided to challenge it together. At first, it didn't go well, and we ended up laughing as we rolled around, but the playful aspect of it is also interesting. It was a surprising discovery that something I started for health turned into quality time enjoying it with my family.

The ability to continue is a significant gain

What's important is not hard training, but incorporating it naturally into daily life. Just moving your body for a few minutes can refresh you, and I could gradually feel the changes in my body. Whether or not one calls it a special item varies from person to person, but the fact that I thought, "I can keep doing this," was a significant gain.

Creating a structure that allows for continuation holds great value

This ab roller became more than just an exercise tool; it sparked the creation of a new habit. Being able to work out while watching videos or listening to music was also a great point, allowing for adjustments according to my mood. I felt that being able to incorporate it easily, even for short periods, and create a system that can be continued in daily life holds great value.
