Exercise

Roll Ins

On the incline bench

Type: Bilateral Rest: 120s Equipment: Verstellbare Bank, Schrägbank

Tutorial

1

Lie on your back on an incline bench at an angle of 30-45° and hold on with your hands at head height. Bend your legs and lift them off the floor. Your hips and knees are both bent at 90°. This is your starting position.
2

Bring your knees powerfully towards your chest by tensing your abdominal muscles. Your lower back lifts off the bench. Exhale as you do this.
3

Slowly bring your legs back to the starting position. Keep your abdominal muscles tensed even in the lowest position. Breathe in as you do so.
4

One repetition has now been completed. Repeat this process for the specified number of repetitions.

Tip

Your upper back is in contact with the bench throughout the exercise. Your abdominal muscles are tensed throughout the exercise. Try to work only from your abdominal muscles and do not put too much strain on your legs. Make sure that you curl your hips in towards your stomach.
