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.

Suspended Fallout

1

Adjust the straps so the handles are at an appropriate height, below waist level.

2

Begin standing and grasping the handles. Lean into the straps, moving to an incline push-up position. This will be your starting position.

3

Keeping your arms straight, lean further into the suspension straps, bringing your body closer to the ground, allowing your shoulders to extend, raising your arms up and over your head.

4

Maintain a neutral spine and keep the rest of your body straight, your shoulders being the only joints allowed to move.

5

Pause during the peak contraction, and then return to the starting position.

Verdict

Both exercises target the abdominals. Ab Roller is a intermediate exercise using other, while Suspended Fallout is intermediate and uses other. Ab Roller is a compound movement working multiple joints, making it better for overall strength. Suspended Fallout isolates the target muscle for focused development.
