Exercise Profile

Abdominal Machine Lying Overview

The abdominal machine lying workout is designed to primarily engage the abs.

The machine provides support and stability, allowing for targeted ab exercises.

It minimizes strain on the lower back and neck, focusing solely on the abdominal muscles.

While it may engage some auxiliary muscles, the machine’s main role is to isolate and strengthen the abs.

Abdominal Machine Lying Instructions

  1. Adjust the abdominal machine to fit your body by adjusting the seat height and footrests.
  2. Sit on the machine with your back against the backrest and your feet secured under the footrests.
  3. Place your hands on the handles provided, keeping your elbows bent at a 90-degree angle.
  4. Engage your abdominal muscles by pulling your navel towards your spine.
  5. Exhale and slowly lean back, keeping your back straight and your feet firmly planted on the footrests.
  6. Inhale and return to the starting position by using your abdominal muscles to lift your torso back up.
  7. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Abdominal Machine Lying Tips

  1. Position yourself correctly on the abdominal machine by lying flat on your back with your feet secured under the footpads, knees bent at a 90-degree angle, and hands resting gently on the side handles.
  2. Engage your abdominal muscles by taking a deep breath in and exhaling as you lift your upper body off the machine, focusing on contracting your abs and avoiding any strain on your neck or lower back.
  3. Maintain a slow and controlled movement throughout the exercise, avoiding any jerky or sudden motions that could compromise your form or lead to injury.
  4. As you lower your upper body back down, keep your abs engaged and resist the urge to completely relax, maintaining tension in your core muscles to maximize the effectiveness of the exercise.
  5. Remember to breathe steadily and rhythmically throughout the exercise, inhaling as you lower your upper body and exhaling as you lift it, allowing for a continuous flow of oxygen to your muscles.
