Plyo Platform

Seated Crunch Exercise

TARGETS: Abs

Seated Crunch
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 Apollo or Helios multigyms 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.
