Exercise 0971 · REF zhF9lW4
The band assisted wheel rollout uses a band to reduce resistance through the hardest part of the ab wheel's range, letting you practice the full extension before you're strong enough to control it unassisted. It's a smart regression rather than just doing partial rollouts, since it preserves the full range of motion. Reduce the band assistance gradually as the core gets stronger.
How to Do the Band Assisted Wheel Rollerout
- Kneel on the floor and hold the handles of the band with both hands, palms facing down.
- Place the band on the ground in front of you and position your hands shoulder-width apart.
- Engage your core and slowly roll the wheel forward, extending your body as far as you can while maintaining control.
- Pause for a moment at the furthest point, then slowly roll the wheel back towards your knees to return to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
