How to: Lever Total Abdominal Crunch
- Adjust the weight on the machine to a suitable level.
- Sit on the leverage machine and place your feet securely under the support.
- Grasp the handles and pull down to engage your core.
- Slowly lift your torso while contracting your abdominal muscles.
- Lower back to the starting position and repeat.
Common Mistakes
- Using momentum rather than controlled movement.
- Allowing the back to arch excessively during the crunch.
- Neglecting to engage the core fully.
Modifications
- Use a lighter weight on the machine if needed.
- Perform the exercise without the leverage machine, using body weight.
Tips
- Focus on form rather than heavy loads to avoid strain.
- Engage your core throughout the movement.
- Breathe out as you crunch up and inhale as you lower.
