Learn the Best Ab Exercise Machine Workouts for Abs ToningKneeling Cable Crunches are one of my favorite ab exercise machine workouts I use a lot. This move especially targets the upper rectus abdominus to get them stronger and toner. Remember, the key here is using proper form by using a curling motion, almost like a carpet getting rolled up -- not just a bowing motion bending from the hips. Imagine you’re wrapping your torso around a log, rounding your back. Follow the instructions below to complete this workout:
Kneeling Cable Crunches: Difficulty, 2; lower back, 1. Using the high pulley ab workout machine, grasp a cable rope attachment. Kneel on the floor, and place your wrists against your forehead while holding the cable handle. Contract your abs. Using your abs only, curl downward in a slow, controlled fashion to bring your elbows toward the middle of your thighs. Exhale. Pause for one two seconds. In a very slow controlled manner, release upward to starting position, then repeat. When you come up, don’t come up all the way; don’t let your body go beyond a 90-degree angle. This will prevent back strain. Be sure not to swing your body up and down wildly. Keep your abs contracted throughout lowering and rising; they do all the work.
