This ab-focused movement combines upper and lower core engagement for a strong and safe crunch using a guided motion.
Instructions
- Sit in the ab crunch machine and select a light resistance to start.
- Place your feet under the lower pads and rest your upper arms against the top pads with your elbows bent.
- Crunch forward by contracting your abs and lifting your knees slightly, exhaling as you do.
- Focus on using your abdominal muscles rather than your legs or arms.
- Pause briefly, then return slowly to the starting position as you inhale.
