How to do a ab wheel rollout
- Kneel on a mat and grip the ab wheel handles with both hands, positioning it directly under your shoulders.
- Brace your core and keep your back flat as you slowly roll the wheel forward.
- Extend your body until your torso is nearly parallel to the floor, maintaining tension.
- Pause briefly at full extension without letting your hips sag.
- Contract your abs to pull the wheel back toward your knees to the starting position.
Form tips
- Keep your core tight and avoid arching your lower back.
- Move in a slow, controlled manner throughout.
- Do not let your hips drop or shoulders collapse.
