Abs Exercise #21: Ab Roller

The ab roller exercise is ranked in the San Diego State University abdominal exercise study and is a good exercise for not only working the abdominals but also the lower back and the shoulders.

Here is the proper way to perform the ab roller:

1. Start on your knees and position the barbell in front of you.
2. Grip the barbell about shoulder width and slowly roll forward.
3. Roll forward as far as you can comfortably go without falling forward or touching you chest on the floor.
4. Pull yourself back up to the starting position and repeat.
5. Try to complete 3 sets of 10 repetitions.

Things to remember when doing the ab roller exercise:

• When rolling forward Keep your body locked in a straight position with no back sag.
• You can also do the ab roller with an ab wheel or on your toes.
