The Akro Single Arm Fly is an excellent way to develop functional strength in the chest, arms and core while supporting yourself with the other arm…totally appropriate for beginners as well as those looking to vary their normal dumbbell routine. Simpler than the reformer – and as effective!

The Akro Lateral Rollout is another movement akin to Pilates Exercises. You can think of this exercise as a variation on the usual ‘Plank’ used by personal trainers every day. This movement will help with abdominal stability and core strength.

The Single Arm / leg core extension is a great variation on the traditional ‘superman’ exercise used by physical therapists to balance the core and back muscles. This move is great for developing Pilates strength as well as calisthenic strength.

The Akro Russian Twist is a unique way to engage the obliques and incorporate twisting motions critical to virtually every sport, from Baseball to Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). The Akrowheels russian twist exercise is perfect for opening up the lumbar region of the back to gain both flexibility and increase range of motion.
To perform the exercise make sure you begin with a wide base by separating the knees. The Akrowheel should be directly below the chest. Make sure to keep a straight line from the crown of the head to the tailbone.
Trainer’s Tip: Actively push into the ground to increase the resistance. This will really work the obliques (i.e., the love handles).

The Akrowheel Core Fly Seriously strengthen the arms, shoulders and chest all in one simple movement. Be sure to keep the wheels from meeting in the middle (keep them a few inches apart at the top of the movement). Keep the elbows slightly bent as you descend as far as is comfortable. This movement will take your chest strength and power to the next level.

The Akro Ab rollout takes the traditional ab rollout using the ab roller to the next level. By using both arms independently, you gain greater control over the movement and are free to introduce variations that cannot otherwise be performed. This means you can either dial-up or dial-down the intensity based on your objectives. This motion will also target the lats, chest and triceps in addition to training the core; a complete upper body exercise!
The Tiger Rollout is a unique variation on the ab rollout. Here you will do a single arm rollout while supporting yourself with the other arm. You could also think of this as a single arm pushup assisted with the wheel. Either way, this is a superb upper body strengthener.
Trainer’s Tip: Adjust the position of the supporting arm to vary the difficulty.
