Description of exercise Wheel exercise is a simple yet effective workout that targets the core muscles, specifically the abs and obliques. It involves using a wheel-shaped equipment with handles on either side, also known as an ab wheel or roller. To perform the exercise, one must start in a kneeling position with hands on the wheel and slowly roll forward, keeping the core engaged and the back straight. This movement engages the core muscles and challenges their strength and stability. As the body rolls forward, the abs and obliques work together to control the movement and prevent the lower back from arching. The wheel exercise is a great addition to any workout routine for building a strong and toned core.
