FUNK 50 FOR ABS PART 8 – ATTACK ON THE MACHINES





I thought I would have some fun and actually use the Ab machines at the gym I was at (Premier Fitness, Toronto). I never use them. But for the sake of people that do here is a great Machine workout that you can do at the gym.

I am not a big fan of ab machines. This was the first time I had used them in over a year. If you are a beginner to working out, you should never use the machines. They do not give you the ability to strengthen the support muscles in your core, which you want to do, especially if you want overall body strength.

The machines will not do your abs or core any justice.

One of the only reasons someone should be using an ab machine is to really bulk up the already developed and visible abs muscle by adding weight to the movement.

I never have clients use Ab machines; it defeats the purpose of strengthening the core, back and abs.

That being said, if you want to bulk up your already strong abs muscles or throw a wrinkle into your workout once every couple months then use this workout, as long as you have the equipment in the gym.

Funk Tips
• When using the machines for Abs exercises press the small of your back against the machine to ensure, your ABS is doing all the work.
• Do not use you arms or legs during the exercises, concentrate and focus on the abs doing all the work
• Only use the machines if you already have strong abs or you have been consulted by a doctor or fitness professional


AB EXERCISES DON'T BURN FAT!!!!!!

You lose fat with nutrition and cardio. If you want to see your abs, tighten up your diet and do more cardio! The bottom line is, if your abs are covered with a layer of fat, you won't be able to see them, no matter how much abs exercise you do!
