Abdominal Exercises
Seated (Resisted) Abdominal Crunch
– Spinal Flexion
Muscles worked:
Abdominal area including upper and
lower front abs (rectus abdominus)
and side abs (obliques).
Position:
Seated – facing outward
Accessory:
Abdominal Crunch Shoulder Harness
Pulleys:
Abdominal bar
Before You Begin:
Remove Leg Extension
Key Points:
• Allow exhalation up and inhalation
down, but don’t exaggerate it.
• Do not lift head/chin. Your head
should follow rib motion, not lead,
allowing you to maintain normal neck
posture.
• Tighten abs throughout range of
motion. Do not let abs relax until
set is over.
• MOVING SLOWLY to eliminate
momentum is critical.
• Attach the Abdominal Crunch
Shoulder Harness by
snapping one hook to each of
the D rings. Place the harness
on your shoulders letting the
handles hang over your chest.
Grab both handles. With high
resistance, a cross arm opposite-
handle grip may be used.
• Lower back can start out flat or
in normal arch, knees and hips
bent and feet flat on floor.
• Tighten abs and curl only
torso, slowly moving ribs
toward hips. Move as far as you
can without moving hips or
neck. LOWER BACK SHOULD
NOT LOSE CONTACT WITH
BENCH when fully crunched.
• Slowly reverse motion
returning to start position
without relaxing.
