How to do Ab Wheel Right Out
- Start by kneeling on a mat with the ab wheel placed on the floor in front of you, holding it with both hands. Ensure your arms are extended and your back is straight.
- Roll the ab wheel forward and to the right, extending your body into a partial straight line while keeping your core engaged and your hips slightly extended backward.
- Roll the ab wheel back to the starting position, using your core muscles to control the movement and maintain stability.
- Repeat the movement, rolling out to the right and returning to the starting position each time.
Form tips
- Avoid overextending and roll out only as far as you can maintain control. Overextending can place unnecessary strain on your lower back and shoulders.
- Breathe steadily. Inhale as you roll out and exhale as you roll back in. Proper breathing helps maintain core engagement and stability.
- Ensure your hips are slightly extended backward when rolling out to maintain proper form and prevent lower back strain.
