Exercise Profile

Forward Roll Overview

The Forward roll workout is a bodyweight exercise that primarily targets the abdominal muscles.

This workout involves rolling forward from a standing position, using the body’s weight to engage the abs.

While the forward roll also works secondary muscles, its main focus is on strengthening and toning the core.
