WORKOUT INSPIRATION:
For the Ab Crunch and left and right Oblique Crunch try to carry out between 25
and 50 repetitions (reps) per set. Try 2 sets of 12-15 reps per workout. Once this is too
easy, increase the number of reps per set or change the resistance level.
Don’t forget there are three resistance levels available – beginner, intermediate and
advanced. Adjust the positions to decide the amount of resistance, ensuring plugs
are always locked in place before use.
CORRECT TECHNIQUE – AB CRUNCH:
• Position yourself on an upright chair or stool
ensuring back is straight and feet are flat on
floor.
• Ensure your seating position allows for your
knees to be bent at a 90 degree angle.
• Position the Core Magic vertically, thigh pads
placed with back edge centrally on top of
your thighs.
• Cross your forearms and rest them across the
“8-pack” handle.
• Now for the tricky part – Inhale sucking your
tummy in.
• Now focus on lowering your chest slowly
towards your thighs as you lower the 8-pack
handle in a folding motion.
• Keep your head down tucking your chin
towards your chest, tracking your forehead
down over your crossed arms.
• This will ensure you are engaging your Core
instead of using your arms to carry out the Ab
Crunch exercise.
• Push the figure 8 handle as low as possible
down the column, then slowly extend back
to the start position in a controlled manner,
maintaining tension at the top of the move.
• Ensure you push all the way down for full
range of motion.
• Allow 1 second to push figure 8 handle down,
hold handle in low position for 1 second
then allow 1 second to extend back to start
position.
