How to: Band Assisted Wheel Rollout
- Secure both ends of the resistance band to a sturdy anchor point.
- Kneel on the floor and grip the handles or hold the ends of the band.
- Engage your core and slowly roll forward while maintaining a straight line from your head to your knees.
- Roll out until you feel a stretch in your core but avoid straining your lower back.
- Slowly return to the starting position by engaging your core.
Common Mistakes
- Not engaging the core, which can lead to back pain.
- Rolling out too far too quickly, risking strain on the back.
- Allowing the hips to sag below the shoulders.
Modifications
- Perform the rollout with the knees on the ground for added support.
- Reduce the distance of the rollout to start and gradually extend as strength improves.
Tips
- Engage your core throughout the movement to prevent lower back strain.
- Make sure the band is securely anchored to avoid slippage.
- Gradually increase the range of motion as you build strength.
