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.
