Strength exercise
Ab Rollout
How to do it
- Kneel on a padded surface and grip the ab wheel handles with hands shoulder-width apart.
- Position the wheel directly under your shoulders with your hips stacked over your knees.
- Brace the core and slowly roll the wheel forward, extending your body toward a straight line without letting the hips sag.
- Roll out only as far as you can control while keeping the lower back flat, not arched.
- Pull the wheel back toward your knees by contracting the abdominals, not by yanking with the arms.
- Exhale on the way back in and keep the movement slow and continuous for each repetition.
