ROCKIN’ ABSTM ABDOMINAL TRAINER MOVEMENTS

Advanced Jackknife

To perform the advanced jackknife, it is best to start with the basic jackknife movement. Once you have

begun this movement, simply remove your hands from the handles and place them behind your head.

This will increase the load on your abdominals, increasing both difﬁculty and intensity.

Advanced Bicycle Jackknife

To perform the advanced bicycle jackknife, it is best to start with the basic jackknife movement. Once you have

begun this movement, simply remove your hands from the handles and place them behind your head. This will

increase the load on your abdominals, increasing both difﬁculty and intensity. Now alternate bringing one knee

up towards your chest as you extend the other leg outward. Simultaneously twist your torso so that your

opposite elbow extends toward the opposite knee. Alternate this repetition in a bicycle-type movement.

ROCKIN’ ABSTM ABDOMINAL TRAINER MOVEMENTS

The Rockin’ AbsTM Abdominal Trainer is designed with Core Cradling TechnologyTM to support you through

the full abdominal movement. Carefully sit down into the unit with your glutes positioned between the two

roller arms. Place both feet on the ﬂoor. Grab the machine’s handles with both hands. The handles should

be positioned directly in front of you, towards your feet. You are now properly positioned on the Rockin’ AbsTM

machine to start exercising.

Basic Jackknife

To perform the basic jackknife, assume the beginning position. Hands on the handles and feet on the ﬂoor.

Raise your feet slightly off of the ﬂoor and hold them steady, engaging the muscles of your abdomen. In one

ﬂuid movement, bring your knees towards your chest and your chest towards your knees. You will crunch

upwards on a count of “one.” Hold at the top of the movement and then lower your legs and torso to their

starting position on a count of one. This is one Basic Jackknife repetition.

Basic Alternating Leg Jackknife

This is a simple variation designed to increase the intensity and difﬁculty of the basic jackknife. Simply start

with the basic jackknife movement. When you are ready, pull one knee towards your chest as you crunch and

leave the other leg extended outwards. Alternate each leg for each repetition.
