Instant Abs Machine Instructions

The Instant Abs machine by PYC Fitness is a chair-like device you use to work out your abdominal muscles at home and that folds up to store away when you're not using it. The manufacturer says it takes only takes minutes a day to get results with the Instant Abs machine, but no abdominal exercise will burn the fat away from your stomach area. Working out with this device may strengthen and tone your abs, but you must also eat sensibly and commit to a full exercise routine to see real results.

Step 1

Sit on the Instant Abs machine with your feet anchored under the black foot bar.

Step 2

Grasp the handles at your sides. Do not hold the handles too tightly. Keep a secure but loose grip.

Step 3

Lift your legs up against the resistance of the machine. Do not move your upper body. Try to raise your legs to about parallel to the floor. The motion is similar to that of the vertical straight leg-hip raise exercise.

Step 4

Control the lowering portion of the movement. Do not allow your legs to simply fall back down.

Step 5

Perform 10 to 20 repetitions with good form. Rest 30 seconds and repeat.

Tips and Warnings

  • Do not swing your legs or use momentum. Focus on using your abdominal muscles to pull your legs up. Inhale as you lower your legs; exhale as you lift them.
