Ring Rollout

How to do it

  1. Kneel on a mat with a set of gymnastic rings adjusted to hover just above the floor and grip a ring in each hand.
  2. Brace the core and lean forward, extending the arms and rolling the rings out in front of the body.
  3. Keep the hips extended and the torso in a straight line from knees to shoulders as the rings travel outward.
  4. Let the core control the descent, stopping the rollout at the farthest point that can be controlled with a flat spine.
  5. Pull the rings back in by drawing the arms down and back, engaging the core to return to the upright kneeling position.
  6. Reset the shoulders and hips before starting the next repetition rather than rocking to build momentum.
