How to perform Ab Roller
- Hold the Ab Roller with both hands and kneel on the floor.
- Now place the ab roller on the floor in front of you so that you are on all your hands and knees (as in a kneeling push up position).
- This will be your starting position.
- Slowly roll the ab roller straight forward, stretching your body into a straight position.
- Go down as far as you can without touching the floor with your body.
- Breathe in during this portion of the movement.
- After a pause at the stretched position, start pulling yourself back to the starting position as you breathe out.
- Go slowly and keep your abs tight at all times.
