The core workout for people who hate crunches
A foldable ab machine that uses a rocking, knee-up motion instead of sit-ups, so your neck stays out of it.
From the Hearth & Nook Fitness journal · 4 min read
Crunches and sit-ups are the default ab workout, and for a lot of people they're also the reason they stop: sore neck, sore lower back, and not much to show for it.
The Ab Machine works the other way round. You kneel on the carriage and drive your knees up in a rocking motion, which works the core and waist through a guided track instead of pulling on your neck.
1No neck strain
Your head and shoulders stay still. The movement comes from your core and hips, not from yanking yourself up.
2Guided, controlled movement
The track keeps the motion smooth and consistent, which makes it easier to learn than floor exercises.
3Adjustable
Set the frame to a level that suits you and progress as you get stronger.

4Folds away
The frame folds for storage, so it doesn't take over the living room.
5A few minutes a day
Short, regular sessions are easier to stick with than an hour at the gym.
