How to perform Bodyweight Ring Ab Rollout with proper form
Starting Position
- Rings: Set the rings at about hip height.
- Grip: Stand close to the rings and hold them with straight arms in front of your thighs.
- Body: Tuck your pelvis, pull your ribs down and squeeze your glutes into a hollow body position.
Movement
-
Rollout Phase:
- Lean forward and let the rings travel forward and up overhead as your body lowers.
- Keep your arms straight and your body in one straight line.
-
Return Phase:
- Pull the rings back down toward your hips with your abs and lats until you are standing again.
Key Points
- Keep the hollow body position the whole time. A sagging lower back means you went too far.
- Higher rings make it easier. Lower rings or elevated feet make it harder.
- Keep your hands as close together as your shoulder mobility allows.
