Engagement of the Abs and Glutes is not just critical, it’s essential. This exercise is all about control and focus. Pausing at the extended position (the finish position) is crucial, even if it’s just a tiny pause for beginners. Go slow and controlled, and remember, jerking movements are not the way to go. Stay focused, engage your core, and you’ll see the results.
The Ab Wheel is a fantastic addition to any home gym. It’s not just highly effective, it’s also affordable! Surprisingly, this exercise is often overlooked and underrated, considering its numerous benefits. It’s an excellent choice for Calisthenics, where you use your body weight with little or no equipment, combined with various contortions and balancing moves.
