Default How to make ab rolls more difficult?

I know, I hate asking this..but how can I make ab rolls more difficult? Any regular crunch movement hurts my back, so I tried using an ab roll apparatus. :P Regardless, how can I make this exercise more difficult? I can't put weights anywhere...

Help!

Help!

I have never used an ab roller. We have one in my gym but I have never seen anyone use it.

I do use a stability ball to do crunches because using the floor or a bench hurts my back. You can use weights with the stability ball.

if you can do an ab roll out from standing for 10 reps there is no need to do any more ab work
