Ab Wheel Rollout

Set-up

• Kneel on a mat holding the ab wheel on the floor below your shoulders.
• Brace your stomach and tuck your hips slightly.

How to do it

1. Roll the wheel forward slowly, letting your hips and arms extend together.
2. Go only as far as you can without your lower back sagging.
3. Pull the wheel back towards your knees using your stomach muscles.

Coaching cues

• Keep your hips tucked and your back flat throughout.
• Short, controlled rollouts beat long, sagging ones.

Common mistakes

• Letting the lower back arch as you roll out.
• Leading with the hips on the way back instead of the stomach.

Safety

• Start with short rollouts, or roll towards a wall that stops the wheel.
