How to do it

Keep your knees hip-width apart to maintain a stable kneeling base.

  1. 1

    Start in a kneeling position with the barbell in front of you on the ground.

  2. 2

    Grip the barbell with both hands shoulder-width apart.

  3. 3

    Slowly roll the barbell forward, extending your body as straight as possible without touching the ground.

  4. 4

    Go as far as you can without arching your back, keeping your abs tight.

  5. 5

    Use your core muscles to pull yourself back to the starting position.

  6. 6

    Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Expert tip

Keep your core engaged throughout the movement to protect your lower back and maximize the activation of your abs.
