Abdominal roll with the wheel roller

To start, you assume the kneeling starting position. Your lower legs are flat on the ground, while your upper legs point vertically upward, forming a right angle with the lower part of your leg. Your head forms a natural extension of the spine. The abdominal roller, located under your chest, is held by you with almost fully extended arms. Following that, you engage your abdominal muscles to begin the exercise with the abdominal roller and the Wheel-Roller.

Movement execution

In the easier variation, you exhale as you roll the abdominal wheel forward. Your arms extend above your head, and your entire body moves towards the floor. In the final position, your arms are almost fully extended above your head, while your upper body hovers just above the ground. It is essential not to rest your upper body. Subsequently, you move slowly and steadily with the wheel roller back to the starting position while taking a deep breath.

Furthermore

In this variation with the Wheel-Roller, you increase the intensity by attaching a resistance band to the Wheel-Roller. This band is also secured behind your body to enhance resistance. Alternatively, you can fasten the resistance band with your legs. The exercise begins as you once again roll your entire body forward. Your arms are nearly fully extended, holding the Wheel-Roller in front of you. Your upper body, including your head, hovers parallel to the ground. During this downward movement, you exhale. Subsequently, you slowly roll your upper body back up while taking a deep breath.
