Abdominal Exercise Wheel

The Exercise Wheel is a real Challenge!

Using an exercise wheel requires a great deal of core strength. You may have to start small and work up to it's most difficult degree, but you can get there if you want to. Not all my coaching clients want this much of a challenge and that's ok!

On the day you can complete a full rotation with the abdominal wheel from a standing position you will have core strength and better health!

Benefits of the Abdominal Exercise Wheel

This tool allows the abdominal muscles to be isolated so they get extended and contracted in a focused way. You will also be working the muscles in your:

* shoulders

* back and

* arms

Actually, the day after your first set you will know exactly which muscles were used :)

Starting Out

There are some points you should remember when you first start using the abdominal wheel:

* as with all exercises, breathing is important -
inhale when laying out and exhale when coming in

* do the exercise in a slow, smooth and controlled
manner, don't yank and struggle trying to do more

* make sure you are going through the full range of
motion to get the maximum benefits as to flexibility
and strength

They say a picture is worth a 1000 words, but I'm not sure what they say about a video. A video is the best way for you to understand how use the exercise wheel. Click on the 1st external link below.

Movin on Up!

Once you've got the hang of doing them on your knees, you can aim toward doing them from a standing position (much more challenging).

If the jump to a standing position is too great, here is a way to increase gradually.

In a standing position place yourself 3-4 feet from a wall. Bend down and roll the wheel to the wall and then back. Find a distance that is difficult, but manageable. Then gradually work further from the wall until you can do the exercise laying out fully.

To view the exercise in a full layout position click the second external link below.

Go For It!

Completing this exercise from a standing position is a definite challenge. So take it. I tell my coaching clients that:

* there is no use worrying about where they are now

* focus on where you want to end up

* make a workable plan

* you know what Nike says...

Just Do It!
