TOM CLIFFORD: Now, I'm going to demonstrate how to use the Ab Cruncher. Ab Cruncher is a little device that you can sit in and you put you head on the gray pad, arms in against the pads here or your elbows against the pads. You're going to have your hands above your head. Bend your knees and you're going to contract your abs and bring straight up. Now, as my voice changed because I'm contracting my abs as hard as I possible can, and the machine is helping me-my arms are helping me to get that full contraction of my core muscles. So you're going to breathe, exhale all the way out, hold it and down. Breathe in, exhale, breathe in on the way down. And one more time, we're going to exhale on the way out, really contracting those abs and then relax and breathe in. So when using the ab cruncher, you still have to focus on contracting your abs as hard as you can. You don't want to use your hands. You don't want to push up with your hands. You want to try to focus totally on using all the core muscles and exhaling when you come up in your crunch and blowing all the air out in your stomach, really helps to contract those abs as hard as possible. That is one of the ways that you can do the Ab Cruncher.
