How to do it

  1. Adjust the seat and resistance to your desired settings on the abdominal crunch machine. Sit on the seat and position your feet securely on the footrests.

  2. Grab the handles, ensuring your elbows are pointed forward.

  3. Engage your core muscles and crunch your abdominals by pulling your upper body forward and curling your chest towards your knees.

  4. Hold the crunch for a second, then slowly return to the starting position with control. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Form tips

  • Exhale as you crunch forward and inhale as you return to the starting position.

  • Avoid using momentum; focus on engaging your abdominal muscles throughout the exercise.

  • Ensure your lower back remains in contact with the backrest of the machine.
