Exercise tips and tricks

Control is Key: Maintain a slow and controlled movement throughout the exercise. This will help you engage the core muscles effectively and reduce the risk of injury.
Proper Breathing: Exhale as you roll out and inhale as you return to the starting position. Proper breathing will help you engage your core muscles more efficiently.
Core Engagement: Keep your core muscles engaged at all times. Imagine pulling your belly button towards your spine to maintain a tight core.
Full Extension: Aim to roll out as far as you can while still maintaining control and proper form. Over time, you can increase your range of motion.
Avoid Sagging Hips: Ensure that your hips do not sag during the rollout. This can place unnecessary strain on your lower back.
Neutral Spine: Maintain a neutral spine position throughout the exercise. Avoid rounding or arching your back to prevent injury.
Warm-Up: Make sure to warm up your core muscles before starting the exercise. This can include light cardio or dynamic stretching to prepare your muscles and joints.
Correct Grip: Place your hands shoulder-width apart on the barbell. A proper grip will help you maintain control and balance during the rollout.
