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.

Landmine 180's

1

Position a bar into a landmine or securely anchor it in a corner. Load the bar to an appropriate weight.

2

Raise the bar from the floor, taking it to shoulder height with both hands with your arms extended in front of you. Adopt a wide stance. This will be your starting position.

3

Perform the movement by rotating the trunk and hips as you swing the weight all the way down to one side. Keep your arms extended throughout the exercise.

4

Reverse the motion to swing the weight all the way to the opposite side.

5

Continue alternating the movement until the set is complete.

Verdict

Both exercises target the abdominals. Ab Roller is a intermediate exercise using other, while Landmine 180's is beginner and uses barbell. Choose Landmine 180's if you're looking for a more accessible option, or Ab Roller for a greater challenge.
