Ab wheel rollout
How to do it
- Kneel on the floor, holding the roller with both hands directly under your shoulders.
- Brace your abs and roll the wheel forward, extending your body with your back straight.
- Go only as far as you can control the position, without feeling pain in your lower back.
- Brace your abs and pull the wheel back, returning to the starting position.
Key to the execution: The range of motion should be limited to what you can control with your abs, not with your back.
Common mistakes
- You let your lower back arch during the roll-out.
- You go too far and lose control, straining your spine.
