Ab Wheel Rollout

Technique

Kneel on the floor and hold the ab wheel handles with arms extended. Roll the wheel forward slowly, keeping your core braced and your hips from sagging. Extend as far as you can while maintaining control. Use your abs to pull the wheel back to the starting position.

Steps

1. Kneel on the floor and grip the ab wheel with straight arms
2. Brace your core and lightly tuck your pelvis
3. Roll the wheel forward while keeping your hips from sagging
4. Stop before you lose trunk control
5. Contract your abs to roll back to the starting position

Common mistakes

• Allowing the lower back to arch as the wheel moves forward
• Sitting the hips back instead of returning with the abs
• Rolling farther than you can control
• Bending the elbows to shorten the movement

Variations

• Standing ab wheel rollout
• Incline ab wheel rollout
• Wall-limited ab wheel rollout
