The dangers of ab wheel

For many fitness friends, the effect of using an abdominal wheel is very obvious. However, for some fitness beginners, blindly using abdominal wheels in order to achieve weight loss effects can easily cause some physical injuries. In order to help everyone use the ab wheel better, today we will introduce to you the dangers of the ab wheel. We hope that everyone can conduct some pre-use training when using the ab wheel.

Exercises using an ab wheel are often very intense, and beginners can often cause great damage to their waists due to incorrect postures. Therefore, we always see many beginners who dare not practice anymore after practicing for a few days. Once the waist is injured, it can easily cause more serious injuries such as lumbar muscle strain. Therefore, the dangers of using an ab wheel still exist and can only be avoided by using it correctly.

If you want to achieve a unique and charming body with abs, the ab wheel is a good way to lose weight through exercise. But everything has its two sides. If you use the ab wheel too hard, it will often cause certain harm to your body. So what should you pay attention to when using the ab wheel improperly?

Things you need to pay attention to when using the abdominal wheel improperly.

Judging from the kneeling posture. Get on your knees and hold the ab wheel in your hands. Then, inhale and arch your back as far as you can, trying to tighten your buttocks and chin. Keep your hips (and thighs) perpendicular to the ground.

During this movement, your buttocks must not be pushed back too high, or your back sunken too much.

You need to gradually lower your body and keep controlling the entire exercise before your body reaches the ground.

① When the body descends under full control of force, it is necessary to pay attention to maintaining a state of tension throughout the entire process of descent. Also, when training with an ab wheel, don't make the descent process unusually slow at the beginning, as this will cause you to feel tired too early and even get injured before you reach the ground.

If your training partner can use a wide belt to tie around your waist and hips during training, it will be better to prevent the movement from getting out of control.

② During exercise, you must pay attention to not letting your back sag downward.

When doing kneeling exercises with an ab wheel, you need to make sure your back is slightly curved, or at least straight.

If you don't get the movements right, you could injure your lower back and mean you're not ready for the ab wheel.

③ As you move downward, try to get your chest to touch the ground, then try to bend your back slightly while keeping your arms tense. Do not exhale until your body reaches the top.

Also, the harder part is the rest while exhaling and staying close to the ground. Then, inhale and bend your back, and then return to the starting position (kneeling position).

If you have a hard time contracting the ab wheel to push yourself up, just keep trying to extend your arms forward and hold them there passively, or just do half of the ab wheel rep.

Eventually you will be able to perform this set of abdominal wheel movements repeatedly and skillfully. After you have practiced this movement well, you may be able to practice standing with your legs straight and your knees not touching the ground to complete the ab wheel training.
