Description

Wheel Run is a high-intensity cardio workout that targets the entire body. It involves running while holding a wheel. This exercise is great for building cardio endurance, upper body strength, and core stability.

How to Do Wheel Run

  1. 1
    Setup

    Grip an ab wheel with both hands and get into a plank position with the wheel on the floor beneath your shoulders.

  2. 2

    Drive one knee forward toward your chest while keeping the wheel stable and your arms extended.

  3. 3

    Quickly switch legs in a running motion, driving the opposite knee forward while the other extends back.

  4. 4

    Continue alternating at a fast pace while maintaining a stable core and keeping the wheel stationary.

Tips

  • Keep your shoulders directly over the wheel to maintain stability and protect your lower back.
  • Start slow to build coordination, then increase speed as you feel confident with the movement.
  • Engage your core throughout to prevent the wheel from rolling forward or sideways.

Common Mistakes

  • ×Letting the hips pike up reduces core engagement; maintain a flat back parallel to the floor.
  • ×Allowing the wheel to roll forward shifts your center of gravity and risks collapse; keep it locked under your shoulders.
