The AB Trainer is the original AB Roller home fitness ab machine. You can do both basic and advanced ab exercises with the AB Trainer, which includes pads on the frame to support your head and neck. As you curl up, the AB Trainer rocks on its frame, following the curve of your spine. Always take at least one day off between AB Roller workouts to allow your abdominal muscles to recover and grow.
Basic Crunch
Step 1
Slide under the frame of the AB Trainer. Lie on your back with your head against the head rest.
Step 2
Position your hands on the padded part of the frame directly above your head. Don't grasp the frame. Press your open palm against the pad. Alternately, you can place your forearms on the arm pads on hold the frame on the sides.
Step 3
Perform a crunch, pulling your rib cage toward your hip bones. Press your low back into the floor. Keep your head against the head pad throughout the exercise. Exhale as you crunch forward. Hold this position for two counts.
Step 4
Lower yourself back to the start position. Do not allow momentum to rock you back; control this portion of the movement.
Double Crunch

Lie on your back in the AB Trainer with your head against the head rest and your hands on the frame.
Step 2
Pull your feet off the floor. Your thighs should be perpendicular to the floor. This is the start position.

Perform a crunch. Pull your knees towards your chest while curling your shoulders off the floor. Exhale as you crunch. Hold the crunch for one count.
Step 4
Reverse direction to return to the start position. Slowly lower your legs and upper body back to the floor. Control this motion; don't allow your legs to simply fall back to the floor.
