Total Gym Weekly Workout: New Abdominal Exercises
We often get requests for Total Gym abdominal workouts, so we recruited recognized GRAVITY Master Trainer Michael Steel to create a challenging new ab routine!
Michael takes ab training up a notch with the SCRUNCH Accessory for Total Gym Sport, GTS and PowerTower commercial models – or you can use the Ab Crunch Accessory for the Total Gym XLS. These exercises target the internal and external obliques, transverse abdominis (which helps stabilize the trunk) and the rectus abdominis (or the “six pack”).

Total Gym Ab Exercise Routine:
*These exercises require the Total Gym SCRUNCH or Ab Crunch. Intensify your Total Gym training with these popular ab accessories!
Ab Crunch with SCRUNCH (8-10 reps)
Ab Crunch with SCRUNCH – Knees off the board (8-10 reps)
Ab Crunch with SCRUNCH – Pike (8-10 reps)
Ab Crunch with SCRUNCH – Obliques (8-10 reps). Switch sides. Advanced users can intensify the exercise by lifting their knees to complete 8-10 reps.
Is there an exercise which would be as effective as an inverted row?

Excellent variation. Thankyou!
Gus,
GRAVITY Master Trainer Elizabeth Leeds answers your question:
Try these exercises to work your middle and rear deltoids:
1. Seated lateral rear fly or cross body upright row (up and out move)
2. Seated backward/ kneeling upright row w/ pins low (for commercial models with adjustable pulleys)
We hope this answers your question. For more Total Gym exercises, please visit http://www.totalgym.com/c-8-chest.aspx.
Thanks for writing!
Truly beneficial appreciate it, I’m sure your readers would certainly want considerably more writing similar to this carry on the great work.
Is there a difference between the ab boards and the scrunch board? I didn’t know if one worked better than the other or if they are the same.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Nancy,
Thanks for writing! We think you are referring to the Ab Crunch or SCRUNCH accessories? Both are designed to uniquely train the abdominals; the only difference is the SCRUNCH fits on Total Gym Commercial Models GTS, PowerTower and Sport and the Ab Crunch is compatible with the Total Gym XLS (as seen on TV). We hope this helps!
