Instructions
1. Begin by adjusting the lever machine so that when lying on your back, you can reach the handles comfortably with your arms extended.
2. Lie down on the bench with your lower legs under the leg pads to secure your position.
3. Grasp the machine's handles with both hands, and keep your arms extended throughout the movement.
4. Brace your core and slowly perform a crunch motion by lifting your upper torso towards your pelvis. Exhale as you crunch and focus on contracting your abdominal muscles.
5. Pause at the top of the movement for a moment to maximize the contraction in the abs.
6. Slowly lower your upper torso back down to the starting position while inhaling.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets, ensuring you maintain proper form throughout the exercise.
Safety Tips: - Keep the movement controlled and avoid using momentum to lift your torso. - Do not strain your neck; keep it neutral as if you were holding an apple between your chin and chest. - Select an appropriate weight that allows you to perform the exercise with proper form without overexerting your muscles.
