The Barbell Ab Rollout is the Exercise of the Month.
1.
Prepare an Olympic Barbell with a 25lb weight on each side. These weights will
serve as the rollers. Place a weight clip on each side to fasten the weights.
2. Lay down a yoga mat and place the barbell in front of the mat. Kneel down the very edge of the mat and place your hands on the barbell slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. The barbell should be close to your knees and you should be in a kneeling stance.
3. Slowly roll the barbell away from your body as you
descend and straighten out your hips and body. You should roll out to a point
where your arms are fully extended. Tip: Inhale as you descend downwards into
the full stretch. 4. Once fully extended, pull in the barbell towards your body as you ascend to back the starting position. Do not fold your hips. Think of elevating up.
Tip: Exhale as you pull upwards, holding your abdominals tight while you lift your hips and core.
Teron's Training Tips: If you are comfortable with the straight extension, you can try to roll out on an angle to the left or right side to work out your obliques. You should not attempt this exercise if you have lower back injuries or weakness.
