Setup

Kneel on a mat with an ab wheel in front of you. Place your hands firmly on the handles, shoulder-width apart. Engage your core and glutes, creating a straight line from your head to your knees.

How to perform

  1. Slowly roll the wheel forward, extending your body while keeping your arms straight.
  2. Go as far as you can without arching your lower back.
  3. Pause for a moment at full extension.
  4. Use your core to pull yourself back to the starting position.

Form cues

  • Keep your core braced throughout the entire movement.
  • Maintain a slightly rounded upper back to keep tension on the abs.
  • Control the pace; avoid rushing the movement.
  • Exhale as you roll out, inhale as you return.

Common mistakes

  • Arching the lower back.
  • Letting the hips sag.
  • Using hip flexors instead of abs to return.
  • Bending the arms.
