The ab crunch machine is a unique way of exercising the abdominal muscles and is good for beginners because it works the stomach muscles whilst in a seated position. If you are not used to performing ab crunches then using a machine like this will help to strengthen and condition the abdominals ready for progression. It can also be used by experienced exercisers as a way of increasing the intensity of their workout to gain strength and size in the abs by adding extra resistance.
