Abdominal Crunch

Muscles Involved: Abdominal Rectus
The abdominal crunch is a weight training exercise for working out the abdominal muscles. The exercise is performed from a sitting position, with the back and legs firmly positioned against the support pads. It involves flexing the trunk forward so that the shoulders are brought closer to the knees. Resistance is provided by a weight stack which enables the workload to be adjusted to suit each type of user.

Chest Incline

Muscles Involved: Upper Pectoral, Triceps, Deltoid
The chest incline is a weight training exercise for building strength in the pectoral muscles. The exercise involves extending the arms upwards by pushing the two levers, which have an independent action. Resistance is provided by a weight stack which enables the workload to be adjusted to suit each type of user.

Lower Back

Muscles Involved: Quadratus Lumborum, Sacrospinal
The lower back is a weight training exercise for working out the muscles of the middle and lower back. The exercise is performed from a sitting position, with the shoulders positioned on the roller pad, and involves a backward extension of the trunk. Resistance is provided by a weight stack which enables the workload to be adjusted to suit each type of user.

Rotary Torso

Muscles Involved: Internal & External Obliques, Paravertebral muscles
The rotary torso is a weight training exercise for working out the abdominal oblique muscles. The exercise is performed from a sitting position with the shoulders positioned against the support pad. It involves rotating the torso in alternate directions, to the left and to the right. Resistance is provided by a weight stack which enables the workload to be adjusted to suit each type of user.

Vertical Traction

Muscles Involved: Dorsal, Biceps
The vertical traction is a weight training exercise for building strength in the latissimus dorsi and arm muscles. The exercise is performed along a guided trajectory and from a sitting position, with the back firmly positioned against the backrest. It involves pulling the arms downward using the handgrips on the two independent levers. Resistance is provided by a weight stack which enables the workload to be adjusted to suit each type of user.
