Ab Crunch Machine vs Suspended Fallout

Select a light resistance and sit down on the ab machine placing your feet under the pads provided and grabbing the top handles. Your arms should be bent at a 90 degree angle as you rest the triceps on the pads provided. This will be your starting position.

At the same time, begin to lift the legs up as you crunch your upper torso. Breathe out as you perform this movement. Tip: Be sure to use a slow and controlled motion. Concentrate on using your abs to move the weight while relaxing your legs and feet.

After a second pause, slowly return to the starting position as you breathe in.

Repeat the movement for the prescribed amount of repetitions.

Adjust the straps so the handles are at an appropriate height, below waist level.

Begin standing and grasping the handles. Lean into the straps, moving to an incline push-up position. This will be your starting position.

Keeping your arms straight, lean further into the suspension straps, bringing your body closer to the ground, allowing your shoulders to extend, raising your arms up and over your head.

Maintain a neutral spine and keep the rest of your body straight, your shoulders being the only joints allowed to move.

Pause during the peak contraction, and then return to the starting position.
