Beyond superficial six-pack carving, ab wheel rollouts build functional core strength as they engage the entire midsection dynamically.

Kriti Sanon has resumed her regular schedule after having a gala time at her younger sister Nupur Sanon’s wedding to her husband, singer Stebin Ben. The actor has hit the gym and is aiming to lose any and all of the weight she might’ve gained during the great Indian shaadi that spanned almost a week and 2 states.
On Tuesday, Kriti Sanon’s trainer, Karan Sawhney, shared a post on Instagram, giving fans a sneak peek into her latest gym session. He captioned it, “We’re back @kritisanon. To crushing new goals in 2026″.
The first photo features Karan snapping a quick gym selfie with the actor, who can be seen standing in the background in a black workout set and a purple sports bra. She can be stretching her arms, as her hands are covered in black workout gloves, while she flaunts her natural skin. Kriti looks all prepped and ready to get back into workout mode.
Next comes the main highlight. A video of Kriti Sanon performing a challenging core move – the ab roll-out exercise using an ab roller wheel. Her focus, control, and determination instantly stand out.

The ab roller wheel exercise, also known as the ab wheel rollout, is a powerhouse movement using a compact wheeled device with handles. It challenges your core stability as you roll forward from a kneeling or standing position, extending your body into a straight line like a plank, then contracting to roll back. This simple yet brutal exercise delivers unmatched activation for deep abs, making it a gym staple for athletes and beginners alike.
Key Benefits of Ab Wheel Roller
Beyond superficial six-pack carving, ab wheel rollouts build functional core strength targeting the rectus abdominis, obliques, transverse abdominis, and lower back stabilisers. Unlike crunches, they engage the entire midsection dynamically. Shoulder, chest, arm, glute, and hip flexor activation turns it into a full-body burner, boosting posture, balance, and athletic power while slashing injury risk from weak cores. High metabolic demand torches calories, enhances spinal alignment, and prevents chronic back pain—perfect for real-world strength like lifting or sports.
Breathe steadily and prioritise control over distance when doing this exercise. For beginners, shorten the range and use a wall for support. Avoid if you have lower back issues and consult with a trainer. Pair with planks for balanced core work. Consistency yields visible abs and unbreakable stability in weeks.
How to do the Ab Wheel Roller
- Kneel on a mat, grip the wheel handles shoulder-width.
- Brace core, roll forward slowly until torso is near the floor (keep back straight, do not arch).
- Pause, then pull back using abs (not hips). 8-12 reps, 3 sets.
- Progress to standing as strength builds. Breathe out on return.
- Start slow to master form; avoid if you have back issues without guidance.
