KEY POINTS FOR THE SEATED CRUNCH EXERCISE
  • Sit on the edge of the platform.
  • Extend your legs straight out.
  • Contract your abs and bring  your knees towards your chest.
  • Return to start position.
  • Repeat until tired.

Sit on the edge of the platform gripping the push up handles with your legs extended out from the plyo platform.

Lean back slightly and extend both legs out to their full extension and then contract your abs and bring your knees back toward your chest.

Repeat the exercise movement for as many repetitions as possible.

Seated crunches on our multigyms with plyo platforms help you build muscle. But unlike situps, they work only the abdominal muscles. This intense muscle isolation makes them a popular exercise for people trying to build muscle in their abdominal area. This also makes them ideal for strengthening your core, which includes your lower back muscles and obliques.

 

SEATED CRUNCH

The Seated Crunch exercise, performed on our multigyms with plyo platforms, is a powerful way to target and strengthen your abdominal muscles. With its focused intensity, this exercise is ideal for individuals looking to build muscle and enhance core strength.

To perform the Seated Crunch, sit on the edge of the platform and grip the push-up handles while extending your legs straight out. Lean back slightly, engaging your core muscles, and fully extend both legs. From this starting position, contract your abs and bring your knees back toward your chest in a controlled and deliberate movement.

Repeat the exercise movement for as many repetitions as possible, ensuring you maintain proper form throughout the exercise.

Unlike traditional sit-ups that engage multiple muscle groups, Seated Crunches concentrate solely on the abdominal muscles. This intense muscle isolation allows you to target the specific area you want to strengthen, making it an effective exercise for sculpting your abdominal region.

Moreover, Seated Crunches provide an excellent opportunity to build a strong and stable core. Your core includes not only your abdominal muscles but also your lower back and obliques. Strengthening these muscles not only enhances your appearance but also supports proper posture and improves overall functional fitness. In conclusion, the Seated Crunch exercise offers a focused and effective way to build muscle in your abdominal area and strengthen your core.
