Tips for Performing Standing Wheel Rollout
- Maintain Proper Form: Your form is crucial when performing the Standing Wheel Rollout. Start by standing upright holding the wheel with both hands. Slowly roll the wheel forward while keeping your back straight and your core engaged. Roll out as far as you can without arching your back or letting your hips sag. The common mistake to avoid here is bending your back or hips, which can lead to injury.
- Control Your Movement: Avoid rushing the exercise. The slower you perform the movement, the more your muscles will work. Control the wheel as you roll it forward and as you pull it back to the standing position. This will ensure you're engaging your muscles throughout the entire movement.
