Trideer Exercise Ball (Stability Ball) with Pump

Includes	Hand pump included
Storage	Deflates for flat storage

~$20–$30

Approximate range — confirm the correct size for your height before buying.

Storage	Deflates partially for flatter storage

~$20–$28

Perfect Fitness Ab Carver Pro Roller

Verify rating on Amazon

A wheeled ab roller with a wider wheelbase than a basic single-wheel version, for more stability during rollouts — a small, cheap tool that trains core strength a stability ball can't replicate.

Use	Core and ab rollout training
Storage	Stands or lays flat, minimal footprint
Includes	Often bundled with a knee pad

~$25–$35
