How to Use the Ab Rocket

Obtaining a sculpted abdominal region is the goal for many individuals, but to do so you need to be committed to working your stomach muscles. Crunches and other floor based ab exercises only work specific abdominal muscles and can be tough on your back and neck. The Ab Rocket removes this discomfort by bringing you off the floor for the workout. It also increases your ab movement so you use more muscles during your routine, sculpting your midsection faster than any typical floor crunch or sit-up.

Instructions

    • 1

      Sit in your Ab Rocket chair just as you would with any other recliner. There is a handle bar on each side of the Ab Rocket to help support your body as you sit down.

    • 2

      Extend your feet so they sit firmly on the floor. Keep your hands in front of you while working out. You can hold the handlebars if need be, but this does reduce the amount of work your stomach muscles are doing.

    • 3

      Lean backwards on the Ab Rocket until your back and head reach the floor. The Ab Rocket has resistance in the back board, so you work your abdominal muscles more than a standard crunch or sit up.

    • 4

      Lean forward to bring your body off of the floor. The Ab Rocket does not propel you back into position, so you work your muscles more than on a weight machine at the gym.

    • 5

      Increase the workout if you want to by extending your legs all the way out when you push back on the Ab Rocket, then bring your knees to your chest when you come back off the ground. This provides a double crunch and works both your upper and lower ab muscles.
