Roller Abs

Grip the gymnastic roller with both hands and kneel on the floor. Now place the roller on the floor in front of you, taking emphasis on your hands and knees, as shown in the figure. This will be your starting position. Roll the roller forward slowly. Your body should be almost horizontal. Tip: Get as low as you can without touching the floor with your body. The movement is performed on inspiration. After a short pause, as you exhale, slowly return to the starting position. Tip: Move slowly and keep your abs tight throughout the exercise. Attention: the exercise is not recommended for those who have problems with the lower back or suffer from a vertebral hernia. Variations: To make the exercise more difficult, you can move the roller both forward and diagonally. In this case, the oblique abdominal muscles will also be involved.
