Standing Abdominals
Stand in front of the platform, legs at shoulder
width apart and raise both arms horizontally in
front of your torso. Keeping your back straight and
abdomen strong, pull the straps upward. For
variation, perform the same exercise from a
standing position on the platform.
Position your body in a horizontal line parallel with
the platform. Hands should be shoulder width apart,
legs and back straight, head raised. Using slow and
controlled movements push your slightly bent arms
toward the platform, then return to the starting
position. This exercise is perfect for shoulders and
upper arms.
Brace yourself on your elbows and hold onto the front
edge of the platform. Now, with your back straight, pull
your buttocks up slowly as if you wanted to pull the
Plate toward your feet. You should feel tension in your
abdominal region. To vary the routine, perform the
same exercise from a kneeling position.
Stand in the center of the platform, feet at shoulder
width apart, holding the railing at chest height. Keeping
your back straight and legs slightly bent, push your
upper torso down. Immediately you'll begin to feel
tension in your abdominal muscles. To vary the
exercise, simply bend your arms further.
