Ab Wheel Rollout Knees Overview

The Ab wheel rollout knees workout is a bodyweight exercise that primarily engages the abdominal muscles.

By using the ab wheel, the bodyweight is utilized to create resistance and challenge the core muscles.

Ab Wheel Rollout Knees Instructions

  1. Start in a kneeling position on a mat or soft surface, with your knees hip-width apart and your hands gripping the handles of the ab wheel.
  2. Engage your core by pulling your belly button towards your spine and keep your back straight.
  3. Slowly roll the ab wheel forward by extending your arms, while keeping your knees on the ground.
  4. Continue rolling forward until your body is fully extended, with your arms outstretched in front of you and your torso parallel to the ground.
  5. Pause briefly in this position, focusing on maintaining tension in your core and avoiding any arching of the lower back.
  6. Slowly reverse the movement by pulling the ab wheel back towards your knees, using your core muscles to control the motion.
  7. Return to the starting position by bringing the ab wheel back to your knees, while keeping your core engaged and your back straight.

Ab Wheel Rollout Knees Tips

  1. Focus on maintaining a strong core throughout the entire movement. Engage your abs by imagining a string pulling your belly button towards your spine. This will help you maintain proper form and prevent your lower back from sagging.
  2. Start with your knees on the ground and your hands gripping the ab wheel handles. Slowly roll the wheel forward, extending your arms while keeping your back straight. Feel the tension in your abs as you stretch your body into a straight line.
  3. Avoid overextending or arching your lower back as you roll out. This can put unnecessary strain on your spine and reduce the effectiveness of the exercise. Keep your core tight and your body aligned to maximize the engagement of your abs.
  4. Control the movement as you roll back to the starting position. Don’t rush or rely on momentum. Slowly pull the ab wheel back towards your knees, using your abs to initiate the movement. This controlled return will further challenge your core muscles.
  5. As you become more comfortable with the exercise, gradually increase the range of motion by rolling the ab wheel out further. This will intensify the challenge on your abs and help you progress towards a full rollout. Remember, quality over quantity is key, so focus on maintaining proper form throughout the exercise.
