Instructions

  • Before you sit on the machine, adjust the seat height. 
  • Place your elbows on the arm pads and grab the hand grips (refer to the directions on the machine because abdominal machines vary depending on the manufacturer. For example, some machines have ankle pads to anchor your legs). 
  • Tighten your abdominal muscles and focus on curling your upper spine downward. 
  • Hold for 1-2 seconds and then return to starting position.

Tip

Stay in control of the motion at all times. Keep your lower body stable and make your abdominal muscles do the work.
