Exercise Wheel

Does anyone know how to use exercise wheels!!! Only serious answers please, no hamster wheel jokes!!!?

I bought one of those wheel type things to help tone up your abs and arms. You basically roll it forward and roll it back but I need proper instructions. I got mine from a charity shop and had no instructions for it! It was only 99p though, bargain!!!

There are different levels of using the wheel, but the basic maneuver is the same… grasp the handles, roll it out, then roll it back in. The main things you want to keep in mind if you want to gain the greatest results is to keep in proper alignment. Just like other ab and back exercises, you want to suck in your gut and keep your back straight – DO NOT ARCH IT… this will only hurt your back and won’t work your abs at all.

For the different levels, you just have different start/end positions and how quickly/slowly you move the wheel.
1. The easiest is kneeling: you start on your knees with the wheel under your shoulders and roll out as far as you can keeping proper alignment and then roll back.
2. Next up is squatting: you do the same starting in a squatting position and work your way up to where you can roll the wheel out enough that it’s beyond your head and your whole body is straight and off the floor.
3. Definitely the hardest is standing: you stand bent over with the wheel in front of your toes. Keeping everything straight, you roll the wheel out as far as you can then roll it back, still keeping everything straight.

Once you’ve mastered any of the levels, you can work on seeing how slowly you can keep controlled movements and balance, and on the last level, you can hold an extended plank position (just your toes and the wheel touch the ground) and increase the time you hold that position before coming back in.

Yeah, I hope that wasn’t too confusing. Good luck!
