How to do a roll over

  1. Lie on your back with legs together and extended toward the ceiling, arms by your sides.
  2. Press your arms into the mat and lift your legs up and over your head.
  3. Lower your legs until they are parallel to the floor behind you.
  4. Separate the legs to shoulder width and flex your feet.
  5. Roll your spine back down one vertebra at a time, lowering the legs to the start.

Form tips

  • Keep weight on the shoulders and arms, never the neck.
  • Use your abdominals, not a leg swing, to lift over.
  • Skip this exercise if you have neck issues.
