    For those wondering which is the best to use:
    upper abs: abdominal pull down with a cable machine
    lower abs: hanging knee raises on captains chair
    obliques: torso rotation machine
    Serratus: star punches with dumbbells

    I can't wait to have abs again. I haven't had abs since I quit ballet in high school. I tried some of these machines yesterday and felt a bit awkward on them. I like that the 30 minute room has a bit more privacy and you're away from the crowd in there. I'm also thinking about going early in the morning or late at night so I don't feel like I'm competing for use of the machines. My app's thermometer for how busy the gym is showed only two bars... I went in and it was crowded and I was annoyed!
    I can't wait to have perfect abs so I can show off in a bikini this summer 💞

    Hope you enjoyed this video! NOTE: On the Rotary Torso machine, you can also rotate your body to the left when facing left and to the right when facing right for a more targeted oblique exercise and potentially the ability to add more weight 💪🏼. I was adding in more range than necessary here.

    • @FilipeFleming
      @FilipeFleming 2 місяці тому

      According to what I researched, this machine is dangerous.

    • @FilipeFleming
      @FilipeFleming 2 місяці тому

      Some say that torso rotation machines, also known as seated twist machines, can be dangerous and cause lower back injuries. These machines require you to twist your upper or lower body away from your center while lifting a heavy weight stack. This can be harmful because it keeps your pelvis stationary while your spine moves, which can put too much twisting force on your spine. This can stress your Multifidus muscle and be harmful to your discs. Additionally, the lumbar spine can only twist 13 degrees, which is less than an hour on a clock, but these machines can rotate beyond that range.
