Trainers are very important when it comes to working on your health or weight loss. If you are not able to afford one, you should do some thorough research before you start any exercise. This way you’ll always be able to ensure that you don’t end up injured by the time you are done with your exercise.    If you have been working out for quite some time now and you still don’t see the results, there must be something that you are doing wrong. Proper technique goes a long way when it comes to achieving quick and permanent results. Even for tools such as a Fitness Roller that are quite effective, poor techniques could end up harming you instead. Before you get fully committed to doing your workouts at home, you should first consult a professional. This will help ensure that you not only know when you should be working out, but that you are also doing it right. Here are some techniques of using an ab roller and how to properly handle it:  

Proper Posture 

  When you are learning how to properly use your fitness roller, you first need to focus on perfecting your posture. A poor rolling posture could easily lead to some issues on your lower back. The right starting posture should be all on fours on a space that is both smooth and unobstructed by anything. The space ahead of you should at least be equivalent to your height or more, but never less.    Though the range of your motion as you start should be limited, you need to have the sufficient space either way. To ensure that you keep your proper posture, you should use an exercise mat to help keep your knees comfortable as you workout. With both of your hands on the abs roller, you are ready to start your workout session.  

Roller Workouts 

  Once you have mastered the best posture that you should be using all the time, its time to get into the workout itself. With your fitness roller in hand, roll forward slowly starting from your core and ensure that your toes are firmly planted to give you stability and control. You’ll need the stability when you are holding the position with your roller and toes only.   When rolling, you should ensure that your hands, arms and torso roll forward to the point where you can no longer pull yourself back up. When doing this, your abs should be tight, your lower back muscles contracted and your hips stable. For better results, you should roll out till your body is parallel to the floor with only your toes and the roller holding you up.    

Honing Your Technique 

  Finally once you have mastered the basics, you need to work on improving it and making it even more effective. For this you simply need to always be attentive of your form as you workout. To better strain yourself, you should always do your rolls slowly and always ensure that your arms are even to keep the fitness roller from spinning out of control.   Rolling into a wall would be the best way of keeping yourself from running out of your workout pace. With a proper routine you’ll be able to only see some great results soon through pushing yourself. Make your workout more challenging by fully extending your body as you roll out.    Though most Fitness Rollers have a pretty simple functioning mechanism, you can go for some that make it easier to workout or even ones that give you a wide range of exercises.
