Technique
How to perform One-Arm Straight-Leg Ab Wheel
- Place an ab wheel with a usable one-handed grip in front of your feet, then hinge down and grasp it with one hand.
- Keep both feet about hip-width apart, the knees straight and the free hand clear of the floor and wheel.
- Start with the wheel beneath the working shoulder, the elbow straight and the trunk braced.
- Roll forward under control, extending your body while resisting torso twisting and lower-back sagging.
- Continue into a long reach only as far as you can maintain the position and reverse the wheel's travel.
- Keep the working elbow straight as you pull the wheel back toward your feet, letting the hips rise as it comes close.
- Once the wheel is back near your feet, reset your stance or stand before another repetition.
- Change hands to perform the same controlled rollout on the other side.
