HOW TO USE THE AB COASTER
®
CTL
FEATURES AND TIPS: The Ab Coaster
®
CTL is designed to help you exercise your abdominal
muscles via a leg lift motion. Unlike the popular ab crunch exercise, which works your ab muscles
from the “top down”, the Ab Coaster
®
moves in the opposite direction, working your abs from the
“bottom up.” The motion requires you to lift your knees and legs while contracting your abs.
The Ab Coaster
®
features a Seat attached to a swing arm to aid you in performing the abdominal
lift motion. The starting position requires you to kneel on the Seat while resting your arms on the
arm rests. The exercise requires you to lift the Seat using your abdominal muscles, not your upper
body. The key to performing the exercise properly is to concentrate on contracting your ab muscles
while lifting the Seat. Your upper body should be stable and not moving while you exercise.
Setting up the Ab Coaster
®
: Make sure the Ab Coaster
®
is placed on a flat, stable surface.
