Abs Exercise #13: Ab Crunch Machine

Using the ab machine is much like doing a sit-up or a crunch however the machine adds resistance to the exercise making it more difficult. This will also help build bigger and stronger ab muscles. Most local gyms will have a version of the ab machine or you could purchase one here from Amazon.

Here is the proper way to perform a crunch using the ab machine:

• Sit down on the machine and place your elbows on the pads.
• Grip the handles and slowly pull your body down.
• Concentrate on using your stomach to pull your body down.
• Make sure your legs and feet stay relaxed.
• The aim is to do 3 set of 10-20 reps.

Things to remember when using the ab crunch machine:

• Don’t rush it, the slower and more focused the better.
• Throughout the exercise, stay focused on your abdominal muscles.
