What Is an Ab Crunch Machine?
An ab crunch machine is a piece of workout equipment specifically designed to strengthen the abdominal muscles. These machines are usually found in health clubs or on home gym equipment and involve a forward crunching movement that targets your abdominal muscles. Ab crunch machines may offer a more intense abdominal workout than regular sit-ups or crunches because weight is usually added. Most health clubs offer a wide variety of equipment to their members, usually including an ab crunch machine. Some machines may vary in design but they all target the same muscle group in the rectus abdominis area, or the six-pack ab area. There are other abdominal machines usually available to work the lower-abdominal area and the obliques as well.
