T O TAL CRUNCH
The total crunch is a combination
of the Upper Ab Crunch and the Lower Ab Crunch .
This is an advanced exercise and should be used
a fter your abdominals have been strengthened
sufficiently by the previous two exercises.
Sit on the machine with the legs bent at a
c o m f o rt able angle with your feet placed flat on the
f l o o r. The back rest of the machine should be in the
upright position with your back and neck resting
c o m f o rtably against the back pad. Slowly lower your
t o rso and back pad concentrating on using your
abdominals to lower your torso. Once your have
completely lowered yourself and the back pad has
hit the stopper bar, lift your legs up off the ground in
an extended position about 4-6 inches off the
ground. ( Remember to keep your knees slightly bent
when lifting yours legs.) Next, slowly raise your
t o rso, using the handle bars for assistance while
simultaneously bending your knees into your ch e s t .
Your knees should be fully bent (close toward your
chest) at the same time you have reach the fully
upright (starting position). This combines both
exercises to give you a Total Cru n ch. Next, slower
lower your legs to the extended position while at the
same time you lower your torso with the back pad to
the point where you are completely extended
(laying) on the machine. Repeat the sequence for the
desired number of sets and reps. (The number of
sets and reps is explained on page 18 . )
