4. Verify that both handles are securely attached and do not wobble before use.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for effective and safe use of your KETTLER AB Wheel:

1. Starting Position: Kneel on a mat or soft surface. Hold the AB Wheel handles with both hands, placing the wheel directly under your shoulders. Keep your back straight and core engaged.
2. Rolling Out: Slowly roll the AB Wheel forward, extending your body while keeping your core tight and back straight. Avoid arching your back. Extend only as far as you can maintain proper form and control.
3. Returning: Engage your core and pull the AB Wheel back towards your starting position, contracting your abdominal muscles.
4. Breathing: Exhale as you roll out and inhale as you return to the starting position.
5. Repetitions: Start with a manageable number of repetitions (e.g., 5-10) and gradually increase as your strength improves.
