The crunch is a classic exercise for training the abdominal muscles. The lateral crunch mainly trains the lateral abdominal muscles (obliquus abdominis).
Stand sideways in the 45° inclined hyperextension device. Your left thigh is resting on the hip pad. Press your feet against the footrest. Place your hands behind your head. Your legs are fixed and your upper body hangs slightly towards the floor. The right side of your torso is stretched.
2
Bend your upper body sideways upwards by tensing your right lateral abdominal muscles. Exhale as you do this.
3
Slowly lower your upper body down until you are back in the starting position and the right side of your torso is stretched. Breathe in as you do this.
4
One repetition has now been completed. Repeat this process for the specified number of repetitions, first with your right side and then with your left side.
Tip
Use the full range of motion! Go down until your lateral abdominal muscles are stretched and go up until they are fully contracted. Make sure that you round your spine sideways.
If the exercise becomes too easy for you, you can also hold a weight plate in front of your body.
