Flex

Ab Wheel Rollouts

Muscles worked

Technique

Setup

Kneel on a soft surface, holding the handles of the ab wheel. Keep your back slightly rounded and core braced.

Movement

Roll the wheel forward as far as possible without letting your hips sag or back arch. Pull the wheel back to the starting position using your abs.

Form Tip

Avoid 'pulling' with your arms or using your hip flexors. Focus on the 'tuck' of your pelvis throughout the movement.

Increase Difficulty

Perform the rollout from a standing position (extremely advanced) or add a pause at the fully extended position.

Decrease Difficulty

Roll out toward a wall to limit the range of motion or perform the movement on your knees.
