You need nothing to start. These are the few pieces that unlock the hardest, most effective core exercises.

Disclosure: some links are affiliate links. If you buy through them, AB6 may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Picks are based on usefulness for the exercises in our library, not on payment. We have not lab-tested individual products — use the “what to look for” notes and reviews from verified buyers.

Ab wheel (wide, dual wheel)

The best value-for-money tool in core training. Wide dual wheels are more stable for beginners. Look for a thick knee pad and grippy handles.

Doorway pull-up bar

Unlocks hanging knee/leg raises — the best lower-ab progression. Check door-frame width and the weight rating.

Check price ↗

Resistance band set with anchor

For Pallof presses and woodchops — anti-rotation work that bodyweight can't easily replace.

Check price ↗

Exercise mat (10–15 mm)

Comfort for floor work. Thicker for comfort, thinner for stability during planks.

Check price ↗

Adjustable dumbbell or kettlebell

For suitcase carries, weighted crunches and Russian twists. One adjustable pair covers years of progress.

Check price ↗

Gliding discs / sliders

Cheap and surprisingly hard: body saws, mountain climbers and pikes.

Check price ↗

Stability ball (size by height)

Stir-the-pot and ball rollouts. Choose the size for your height (e.g., 55 cm, 65 cm, 75 cm).

Check price ↗

Kitchen scale + measuring tape

Not glamorous — but nothing improves results more than accurate portions and waist tracking.
