To perform this exercise, you will need special equipment - gymnastic roller (wheel), you can see how it may look above (in the photo), but know: this is one of the many types (designs), in fact, they are a shitty cloud, but the essence of this does not change ????

When performing this exercise, in addition to actively engaging the rectus abdominis muscle (abs), the hand, forearm, biceps, triceps, shoulders, back muscles, oblique abdominal muscles are involved, and when performing the exercise while standing, even leg muscles are involved.

  • The roller (wheel) for the press - "crap" is relatively cheap, which can easily be purchased at any sports store, without any problems ...
  • The “simulator” itself is multifunctional, but at the same time it does not take up any space at all (5 times less than a vacuum cleaner), so it can easily be used at home.
