How to Do Abdominal Exercises on Bowflex
If you are interested in doing some abdominal exercises on your Bowflex, there are a few great ideas that you should start with. Remember that if you are just new to the Bowflex machine or exercise in general, you are going to want to take it easy at first, so that you do not strain yourself and pull any muscles.
As you progress and are able to handle more intensity in your workouts, you can increase the difficult of your abdominal exercises on Bowflex and begin to have much longer, more intense workouts.
Abdominal Exercises on Bowflex
Crunches are one of the best abdominal exercises you can do if you want to get sexy, chiseled abs. Then there are the cable crunches for which you want to set up a double rope at the machine. With your knees planted on the floor you want to grab the ropes with both your hands and then lock them into the sides of your head.
Slowly bring down your elbows down to your knees, holding the contraction for a two-count. Then you want to slowly rise up to a position where your torso is parallel to the floor, and repeat the motion.
Another of the best abdominal exercises on Bowflex is knee ups. These are very easy to do. Start with a firm grasp on the overhead chin-up bar on the machine with your arms spread slightly wider than your shoulders, and make sure that your feet are not touching the floor.
You want to sit on the end of the bench grasping on the sides of the bench with your hands to make sure that you have good balance. Then to perform the exercise you want to extend your legs outward and slowly pull your knees into your chest, squeezing your abdominal muscles as you do this.
The tighter you squeeze your abdominal muscles and the more you focus on them as you are doing your exercises, the better results you are going to get and the more toned your abs will be.
These are just a few of the many different abdominal exercises on Bowflex you can do, so try them all out and see which ones are working your target areas the best and then integrate these into your exercise routine.
The Bowflex is without a doubt the best piece of gym equipment you will ever purchase, and definitely worth the initial cost.
