General Exercise Information
Intended Use
The intended commercial use of this machine is to aid exercise and improve general physical fitness.
Prior to Exercise
Prior to starting a training program, get a complete physical exam to make sure your physician agrees that you are ready. Always
warm-up your muscles before a workout. A cardio warm-up followed by stretching is typically recommended.
Start Your Program Conservatively
Choose weights you can easily in the first several weeks. Typically, a full range of motion is recommended, but consult a qualified
professional if you have questions about whether a full range of motion is appropriate for you due to existing limitations, injury or
discomfort. Injuries to health may result from incorrect or excessive training.
A “repetition” (rep) is defined as one complete movement through an exercise, returning to the start position. A “set” is a continuous
series of reps, usually between 6-15. During your workout the number of reps you perform in a set depends on your goal. To build
muscle and strength, fewer reps (6 - 8) with heavier weight is recommended in each set. To build endurance, more reps (12-15)
with lighter weight is typically recommended.
At the end of your workout, cool down in a similar way to your warm-up.
Performing the Exercise
Abdominal Crunch
Muscles Used: Abdominals
Setup: The Abdominal Crunch exercise is performed while laying on the inclined bench. The back of the knees
should rest over the top of the bench and lower legs should be hooked behind the roller pad.
Movement: and lower body in smooth and controlled movements. Raise torso by bending at the waist and pause
briefly when torso is as high as possible. Lower the torso by returning the upper back to the inclined
bench. Repeat.
