Comments

The ball roll out allows for some variety within your abdominal training, successfully recruiting the rectus abdominis, obliques, plus muscles of the upper body will contract during shoulder extension when rolling the ball in and out.

The exercise is also sometimes performed using a barbell, and also machines are available on the market which mimic this exercise.
