Watch the quick video above as I demonstrate the correct form for using the ab wheel.<\/p>\n<p>The ab wheel is the best \u201cinfomercial looking\u201d gadget you can find. It\u2019s cheap and small, but potentially dangerous if you\u2019re a first timer.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s really important you get the technique right to maximize the benefit of this exercise. Often times I hear stories of injured backs, busted shoulders and \u201cnot feeling anything in their abs\u201d at all.<\/p>\n<p>Well, that\u2019s because you were doing it wrong.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Warning:<\/strong> If you have any back problems, I strongly advise you NOT to do this exercise. Check with your doc, but I say this move is a no-go.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Dominate the Ab Wheel<\/h2>\n<p>So you\u2019ve been thinking trying the ab wheel, but your abs are a weak point or you just haven\u2019t progressed that far yet. As you can imagine, it\u2019s not an exercise you do on a first date with a new client.<\/p>\n<p>How can you prepare to dominate the ab wheel?<\/p>\n<p>When introducing new clients to this exercise, I follow a progression checklist to ensure the foundation is built and you\u2019ll be able to use the ab wheel correctly.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing as the rollout is an advanced version of the plank, can you guess where we start?<\/p>\n<h3>Level One<\/h3>\n<p>Boom, it\u2019s the plank. 10 points for you!<\/p>\n<p>But not just any old plank. It\u2019s really important to focus on squeezing your butt, quads, and tucking your pelvis to engage your whole mid section. Avoid hiking or dropping your hips.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of just holding this for 2 minutes and dying of boredom, try this simple variation:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; take your right or left arm off the floor. Avoid twisting your hips. Repeat 8-10 times.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; walk your hands past your head as far as you can, hold it for 3 seconds, then walk your hands back to starting position. Repeat 8-10 times<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, it&#8217;s more challenging!<\/p>\n<h3>Level Two<\/h3>\n<p>This leads into the next move, inchworms. You can see this move in action here:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sjyb0Ln0dZw?ecver=1\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Now you&#8217;ve got that one under your belt, you\u2019re ready to progress to the rollouts.<\/p>\n<h3>Level Three<\/h3>\n<p>A good exercise to start with so you can work on your form is the <b>Stability Ball Rollout<\/b>. You stress your core by moving the ball away from your body. The thing is, you can control how easy or difficult you make the exercise, depending on the distance you roll the ball out.<\/p>\n<p>Next, you can try the <b>TRX Fallout<\/b>, which is a little more advanced. Again, you can control the difficulty, depending how far you extend your arms.<\/p>\n<h3>Level Four<\/h3>\n<p>The <b>Ab Wheel Rollout <\/b>is where the magic happens.<\/p>\n<p>Ab wheel rollouts are just where the fun begins. Make sure you pause for 1-2 seconds when your arms are extended over your head, and squeeze your abs hard to return to starting posiition. Combine this move with my other favorite ab tricks and you have a recipe for a strong, sexy stomach.<\/p>\n<p>One thing, NEVER arch your lower back when doing this exercise. Don&#8217;t even think about it..<\/p>\n<p>Now it&#8217;s your turn. What is the toughest ab exercise you&#8217;ve ever done? Let me know in the comments box below.<\/p>\n<p>Have an awesome day,<\/p>\n<p>KV<\/p>\n<p>PS.
