Gym Roller Wheel

Precautions for practicing the gym roller wheel

1. First, we start from the kneeling position, landing on both knees and holding the gym roller wheel in our hands. Then, inhale, flex your back as far as possible, tightening your glutes and chin as much as possible. Keep your hips (and thighs) perpendicular to the ground. Your hips should never be pushed back too high or your back sunk too far in this movement.

Gradually lower your body, maintaining firm control throughout the exercise until your body reaches the ground.

2. We let the body descend in full control of the force, maintaining tension throughout the descent to the floor. And don't let the descent be surprisingly slow when you start training the gym roller wheel, you'll tire prematurely and get injured before you even hit the ground. Perhaps during the descent your training partner is carrying a wide belt strapped under your waist and hips for exercise protection, which can be a good way to prevent you from losing control during the exercise.

If your training partner can tie a wide belt around your hips, it may be better to keep you from losing control.

3. It is important to note that your back does not sag downwards during the exercise. Make sure your back is slightly curved, or at least keep it straight. If you're not sure about the accuracy of your movements, then you risk hurting your lower back, and you're not ready for this wicked gym roller wheel workout.

Don't pout your hips!

Don't let your back sag down!

Don't let your spine straighten! (standing)

4. On the downward run, try to touch your chest as much as possible, then try to make a slight arc in your back while keeping your arms tense. Don't exhale when your body is not at the top. Also, the harder part is exhaling and resting on the ground. Then, inhale to bend your back, and then return to the starting position (kneeling position).
