The Wheel Rollerout exercise is a core-strengthening exercise that targets the abdominal muscles and obliques. It also helps improve stability and balance.
How to perform
To perform the Wheel Rollerout exercise, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Begin by kneeling on the floor with the wheel roller in front of you. Hold the handles of the wheel roller with both hands, palms facing down.
2. Slowly roll the wheel out in front of you, extending your arms and keeping your back straight. Engage your core muscles to prevent your lower back from arching.
3. Roll out as far as you can while maintaining good form and control. Only go as far as you can without compromising your form.
4. Hold the extended position for a few seconds, then slowly roll the wheel back towards your knees by contracting your core muscles.
5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Tips:
- Keep your abs engaged throughout the entire movement to protect your lower back.
- Focus on controlled movements, rather than speed, to maximize the effectiveness of the exercise.
- Avoid allowing your lower back to sag or arch during the exercise. If you can't maintain proper form, stop and readjust.
The Wheel Rollerout exercise can be challenging, so start with a few repetitions and gradually increase as you build strength and stability. As always, listen to your body and stop if you feel any pain or discomfort.
