Description of exercise The double crunch machine is a popular exercise that targets the abdominal muscles, specifically the rectus abdominis and the obliques. It involves lying on a mat with your back against a padded platform and your hands behind your head. From this position, you lift your shoulders and legs simultaneously towards each other, creating a “crunch” motion. This exercise not only works the upper and lower abs, but also engages the hip flexors and lower back muscles. It can be modified by adjusting the resistance on the machine or by adding a twist at the top of the movement to target the obliques. The double crunch machine is an effective way to strengthen and tone the core muscles for improved posture and overall strength.
