    Abs
    1. Set your position

      Kneel on a mat with the wheel below your shoulders and brace your abdomen.

    2. Make the movement

      Roll a short distance forward without arching your lower back, then return under control. Increase range only after mastering position.

    3. Breathe and control the pace

      Breathe out during the harder part and in on the return. Control the return instead of dropping the weight. Two reps in reserve means you could do about two more clean repetitions.

    Watch out for

    Do not roll so far that your pelvis drops; begin with a plank if needed.

    Understanding the load

    Your body provides resistance. Begin with an easier variation or a shorter range that you can control.

    For your first use, ask staff to show you the machine settings and safety release. Stop for sharp pain. This basic guide is awaiting professional review.
