Ab Wheel Rollout (Kneeling)

How to do it

  1. Kneel on a folded mat or pad so the knees are cushioned, with the wheel set directly in front of you.
  2. Grip the handles evenly and align your hips directly above your knees before starting.
  3. Brace the abdominals and roll the wheel forward while keeping the knees anchored on the pad as the pivot point.
  4. Limit the roll-out distance to a range where the hips stay level and the back does not sag toward the floor.
  5. Squeeze the core to draw the wheel back toward the knees, keeping the movement originating from the torso.
  6. Keep the hips stacked over the knees throughout so the lower body stays stable while the core does the work.
