Men exercise more and prefer to go to the gym to exercise, so it will be easier for them to develop abdominal muscles. So is it good to use abdominal muscle machines? This exercise method is very good. There are many kinds of abdominal muscle machines that can directly strengthen the abdominal muscles, and the abdominal muscles can be formed in a shorter time.

Below we compare 6 abdominal muscle exercises to see which one can better strengthen the rectus abdominis.

Air pedaling

Lie on your back with your lower back flat on the floor. Place your hands beside your head and arms open. Lift your legs and slowly move like a bicycle. Exhale, lift your upper body, touch your left knee with your right elbow, hold the position for 2 seconds, then return to the original position. Then touch your left elbow to your right knee, hold for 2 seconds, and then slowly return to the starting position.

Exercise ball crunch

Lie flat on an exercise ball with your feet flat on the ground, your hands beside your head, and your arms outstretched. Slightly pull your chin toward your chest, exhale, contract your abdominal muscles and lift your upper body about 45 degrees, hold for 2 seconds, then slowly return to the starting position. To maintain balance, you can spread your feet further apart. To increase the difficulty, do it with your feet together.

Leg raise and abdominal crunch

Lie on your back with your lower back flat on the floor. Place your hands beside your head and arms open. Lift your legs to 90 degrees with your upper body, cross your legs, and bend your knees slightly. Exhale, contract your abdominal muscles, lift your upper body, and keep your lower back off the ground. Hold for 2 seconds, then slowly return to the starting position. Be careful to keep your chin slightly tucked toward your chest.

Weighted Crunches

Begin by adjusting the pulldown weight. Adjust the gantry fulcrum to the highest position. Kneel on one side of the rack and do a weighted crunch

Weighted Crunches

The knees should be 60-100cm away from the gantry base, and the head should not hit the gantry. Hold the rope handles tightly with both hands and place them behind your head, keep your arms and legs fixed, tuck your chest in, exhale, and contract your abdominal muscles to pull down. Hold for 2 seconds and lift your upper body, then slowly return to the starting position and repeat.

Reverse crunch

Lie on your back on the floor with your lower back pressed against the ground, your hands on both sides of your body, your legs raised to 90 degrees to your upper body, your legs crossed, and your knees slightly bent. Tighten your abdominal muscles, then exhale and slightly lift your hips and lower back off the ground, hold for 2 seconds, then slowly return to the starting position.

Traditional Crunches

Lie on your back with your lower back flat on the floor. Place your hands beside your head and arms open. Lay your legs flat on the ground with your knees bent. Slightly pull your chin toward your chest, contract your abdominal muscles, exhale and lift your upper body, but your lower back should not leave the ground. Hold for 2 seconds, then slowly return to the starting position.

Electromyography (EMG) testing found that the air boarding exercise is the most effective exercise for training the rectus abdominis muscle. The second best is leg raises and the third is fitness ball crunches. Research shows that the abdominal muscles are able to produce the greatest activity when an exercise requires both sustained stability and body rotation. Because you need to control your balance in an unstable environment, crunches on fitness balls require more muscle contraction and control than traditional crunches.

Is it good to use an abdominal muscle training machine? This exercise method is very professional. You can use abdominal muscle training machines in the gym, or you can buy them and exercise at home. The exercise methods vary depending on the type of machine, but if you master the exercise techniques and stick to it every day, you can see the formation of abdominal muscles. Exercisers should be careful not to rush to see results. Exercising too hastily will also damage the body's balance, which is not conducive to the formation of abdominal muscles and will hurt the patient's psychology.
