Precor Abdominal Crunch
Generally I don't love a just move your upper torso abdominal crunch, but I actually really like the Precor abdominal crunch machine. Let me tell you why, the motion of the machine just works, when you sit down the handles and shoulder pads slide down to meet you, that way there is no issue with finding the proper pivot point. This is a great machine for strengthening the core.

Precor Abdominal Crunch Instructions
- Select a comfortable weight and sit on the machine.
- Grasp the handles and gently pull down until the pads are resting gently on your shoulders.
- Keep your butt and legs tight to the machine.
- Slowly crunch your chest towards your knees.
- The tighter that you keep your core, the more your abdominals will engage.
- if you are feeling your lower back push, you are either doing it wrong, or your abdominals are fatigued.
