The Lever Seated Crunch exercise is a core strengthening exercise that targets the abdominal muscles. It is performed using a lever machine, which consists of a bench with a lever arm that can be adjusted to provide resistance.
How to perform
To perform the Lever Seated Crunch, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Adjust the lever arm of the machine to a weight that is appropriate for your fitness level.
2. Sit on the bench with your back against the pad and your feet securely placed under the foot pads.
3. Grab the handles of the lever arm with an overhand grip, keeping your elbows bent and close to your sides.
4. Contract your abdominal muscles and slowly lean back, allowing the lever arm to move with you.
5. Once you have leaned back as far as is comfortable, slowly return to the starting position by contracting your abs and pulling the lever arm back up towards your chest.
6. Repeat for the desired number of reps.
It is important to maintain proper form throughout the exercise to avoid strain or injury. Keep your abs engaged, breathe steadily, and avoid using momentum to complete the movement. Adjust the weight as needed to ensure you are challenging yourself while maintaining proper form.
