Exercise Description

The lying crunch machine builds strong abs and core stability. It gives you controlled resistance to target your midsection without straining your neck or back.

How To

1. Lie on the lying crunch machine with your back flat against the pad and feet secured under the foot pads. 2. Grab the handles or place hands behind your head, keeping your core engaged throughout the movement. 3. Contract your abs and lift your shoulders off the pad, bringing your chest toward your knees on the lying crunch machine. 4. Squeeze your abs at the top position and hold for one second before slowly lowering back down. 5. Control the weight down without letting it slam, keeping tension in your abs between each rep.

Form Tips

• Keep your lower back pressed against the pad throughout the entire lying crunch machine movement to protect your spine. • Focus on moving slow and controlled rather than using momentum to lift the weight up. • Don't pull on your neck or head - let your abs do all the work during the lying crunch machine exercise. • Breathe out as you crunch up and breathe in as you lower the weight back down.

Common Mistakes

• Using too much weight and letting momentum take over instead of controlled ab movement on the lying crunch machine. • Pulling on your neck or head which can cause injury and takes work away from your abs. • Not going through full range of motion or rushing through reps on the lying crunch machine without proper control.
