Seated Spinal Twist Machine
These machines, found in well-equipped health clubs, allow the exerciser to flex the lumbar spine while twisting at the waist. This results in a great deal of pressure placed upon the spinal ligaments.
The obliques can be worked with abdominal crunching or curling movements with far greater effectiveness and with greater safety.
You won't find any shortage of devices making promises of a flat tummy or great abs.
There is an abundance of advice related to abdominal movements circulating through word-of-mouth wisdom on the workout floors of health clubs. It doesn't matter if it's an ab pusher, ab wrap, or abba-dabba-do, if it doesn't fit within the realm of safe and effective exercise it hasn't any place in your exercise routine.
