The ab roller is a classic piece of kit but rarely gets used by your average person in the gym. Not only does it hit hit your abs like you’d never believe but it also works your entire core and results in total body strength. If your gym does not have one handy for you to use then you can easily pick one up online or most fitness stores for a very reasonable price. Another reason why its such a great piece of kit is because its so portable and all you need is a matt or cushion for you knees and a flat floor and your ready to go!

There is a few different ways you can use the ab roller/wheel but the most basic and the most effective is the kneeling ab roll out.

Kneeling ab roll:

1.) Start in the kneeling position with the ab roller in front of you.

2.) Grip either side of the ab roller with your hands firmly.

3.) slowly begin to roll out whilst keeping at tight core until your body is in a straight position.

4.) pause at the bottom then slowly roll back to the start position.

Try 3 sets of 10-15 reps (or what ever you can get)

*Be sure to warm up and stretch of your whole body (especially your back)
