3. Operating Instructions
The AB Wheel is designed for core strengthening exercises. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting any new exercise program. Perform exercises on a non-slip surface.
Basic AB Wheel Rollout:
- Starting Position: Kneel on a mat or soft surface. Hold the AB Wheel handles with both hands, palms down, directly under your shoulders. Keep your back straight and core engaged.
- Rolling Out: Slowly roll the AB Wheel forward, extending your body. Keep your core tight and avoid arching your back. Extend only as far as you can maintain proper form without straining your lower back.
- Returning: Engage your core and slowly pull the AB Wheel back towards your knees, returning to the starting position. Focus on using your abdominal muscles, not your arms or back.
Safety Precautions:
- Do not use if you have back pain, shoulder pain, or any other medical condition that may be aggravated by this exercise.
- Maintain a slow and controlled movement throughout the exercise. Avoid jerky motions.
- Keep your core engaged and back straight to prevent lower back injury.
- Stop immediately if you experience any pain or discomfort.

5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Domyos AB Wheel, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
- Squeaking Noise: If the wheel makes a squeaking noise, ensure the axle is clean. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the axle where it meets the wheel, avoiding contact with the wheel's rolling surface.
- Handles Feel Loose: Re-check the handles to ensure they are fully pushed onto the axle. If they remain loose, discontinue use and contact customer support.
- Instability During Use: Ensure you are using the AB Wheel on a flat, even, and non-slip surface. Review the operating instructions to ensure proper form and core engagement.
