Instructions

Ab Roller

1

Hold the Ab Roller with both hands and kneel on the floor.

2

Now place the ab roller on the floor in front of you so that you are on all your hands and knees (as in a kneeling push up position). This will be your starting position.

3

Slowly roll the ab roller straight forward, stretching your body into a straight position. Tip: Go down as far as you can without touching the floor with your body. Breathe in during this portion of the movement.

4

After a pause at the stretched position, start pulling yourself back to the starting position as you breathe out. Tip: Go slowly and keep your abs tight at all times.

Kettlebell Pass Between The Legs

1

Place one kettlebell between your legs and take a comfortable stance. Bend over by pushing your butt out and keeping your back flat.

2

Pick up a kettlebell and pass it to your other hand between your legs, in the fashion of a "W". Go back and forth for several repetitions.

Verdict

Both exercises target the abdominals. Ab Roller is a intermediate exercise using other, while Kettlebell Pass Between The Legs is intermediate and uses kettlebells. Choose Ab Roller if you have access to other, or Kettlebell Pass Between The Legs if you prefer kettlebells.
