HOW TO USE THE AB COASTER
®
CS3000
FEATURES AND TIPS:
The Ab Coaster
®
CS3000 is designed to help you exercise your abdominal muscles
via a leg lift motion. Unlike the popular ab crunch exercise, which works your ab muscles from the “top
down”, the Ab Coaster
®
moves in the opposite direction, working your abs from the “bottom up.” The
motion requires you to lift your knees and legs while contracting your abs.
The Ab Coaster
®
features a Seat moving along a curved track to aid you in performing the abdominal lift
motion. The starting position requires you to kneel on the Seat while resting your arms on the arm rests.
The exercise requires you to lift the Seat using your abdominal muscles, not your upper body. The key to
performing the exercise properly is to concentrate on contracting your ab muscles while lifting the Seat.
Your upper body should be stable and not moving while you exercise.
Setting up the Ab Coaster
®
:
Make sure the Ab Coaster
®
is placed on a flat, stable surface.
EXERCISE INSTRUCTIONS:
1.
Adjust Hand Grip and place forearms and elbows on arm pads. Lightly grasp handles.
2.
Kneel on Seat so that your feet are hooked on the back edge of the pad.
3.
Keeping your back straight, pull your knees forward until you fully contract your abs. DO NOT move
your upper body while performing exercise. Make sure you use your abs to lift the Seat carriage,
not your upper body.
4.
Return slowly to starting position, and repeat. Do not bang Seat carriage when lifting or when returning
to starting position.

to view videos of proper exercise usage of the machine.
ADJUSTING THE SEAT
The Seat is free-moving so that you
can turn your knees and work on your
obliques. Turn knees to right to exercise
left oblique; turn knees to left to exercise
right oblique. Move knees side
to side for free-style motion training.
ADJUSTING THE
HAND GRIP
To adjust hand grip, pull up
on pop-pin and move grip up
or down. Then secure the grip
by releasing pop-pin into the
hole. Make sure hand grip is
secure before using.
