Instructions
Ab Roller
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.
Suspended Fallout
Adjust the straps so the handles are at an appropriate height, below waist level.
Begin standing and grasping the handles. Lean into the straps, moving to an incline push-up position. This will be your starting position.
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.
Maintain a neutral spine and keep the rest of your body straight, your shoulders being the only joints allowed to move.
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.
