The wheel exercise is a fundamental movement that involves rotating your body around a central axis while keeping your limbs extended and your core engaged. This exercise is beneficial for building strength and flexibility in your shoulders, hips, and spine. To perform the wheel exercise correctly: 1. Start by lying on a mat with your back facing upwards. 2. Place your hands behind you with your fingers interlaced and your arms straight. 3. Engage your core muscles to stabilize your body. 4. Lift your hips off the ground while keeping your shoulders down and away from your ears. 5. Slowly rotate your body in a circular motion, first clockwise and then counterclockwise. 6. Continue rotating for 10-15 repetitions on each side. 7. Rest for 30 seconds to a minute before repeating the exercise. Remember to maintain proper form throughout the exercise by keeping your shoulders down and away from your ears and engaging your core muscles to stabilize your body. This will help you get the most out of the wheel exercise and reduce the risk of injury.
