How to perform Ab Roller
- Kneel and grip the ab-wheel handles with the wheel close in front of you.
- Keep the trunk braced and elbows straight as you roll the wheel forward.
- Extend the body from the knees while controlling the shoulder movement, without letting the lower back sag.
- Stop where you can maintain the trunk position and reverse the motion.
- Bring the wheel back toward the knees under control without simply sitting the hips back first.
