Ab Roller vs Otis-Up

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

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.

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.

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.

Secure your feet and lay back on the floor. Your knees should be bent. Hold a weight with both hands to your chest. This will be your starting position.

Initiate the movement by flexing the hips and spine to raise your torso up from the ground.

As you move up, press the weight up so that it is above your head at the top of the movement.

Return the weight to your chest as you reverse the sit-up motion, ensuring not to go all the way down to the floor.
