How to do the standing wheel rollerout
- Start by standing tall with your feet shoulder-width apart and the wheel roller in front of you.
- Bend at your waist and slowly roll the wheel forward, keeping your back straight and your core engaged.
- Continue rolling forward until you feel a stretch in your abs and your body is extended as far as possible.
- Pause for a moment, then slowly roll the wheel back towards your body, returning to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Sets and reps
For muscle growth, 3–4 sets of 8–12 reps with 60–90 seconds of rest is a proven starting point. For strength, use a heavier weight for 3–5 sets of 3–6 reps and rest 2–3 minutes. Add a little weight once you hit the top of your rep range on every set.
Muscles worked
The main muscle is the abs. The lower back and shoulders work as secondary muscles. See all ab exercises or every foam roller exercise.
