How to do a ab wheel rollout

  1. Kneel on a mat and grip the ab wheel handles with both hands, positioning it directly under your shoulders.
  2. Brace your core and keep your back flat as you slowly roll the wheel forward.
  3. Extend your body until your torso is nearly parallel to the floor, maintaining tension.
  4. Pause briefly at full extension without letting your hips sag.
  5. 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.
