can i do crunches on it?

Yes. I do. I wear boots for comfort so my weight doesn't pull too hard on my ankles when inverted.

No not at all. The base helps with keeping it steady, I use it to do sit-ups and it makes for a good work out. If you have those stretchy exercise bands, you can pass them through the hole on the base and use it for strength training.

You can move it and shape it, however it is heavy so you won't want to moving it a lot (I ask my husband to do the heavy lifting).

i think it would be a great core workout. i would put it on the floor and try and sit for core

I don't see why not. I don't think that they would make a different Ab Crunch for each individual model. Note: I believe one can get just as good of an ab workout by just putting the machine at the highest level, mount machine by laying on your back, push handles and of course cables to your sides and crunch till your tummy has enough, then take a two minute break and then.........have at it again. Just my opinion. Gary

This is not the right thing for it. This is a binder and you need an abdominal splint along with a lifestyle change to bring your abs back together. This definitely won't work.

Yes you can do that. It doesn't get really fat. However, it's still garbage. I've had mine less than a year and I had to get a new case. I don't recommend buying this.

If you mean using it as an upper body/arm only trainer, the short answer...yes. But before starting with any new workout regime, consult with your doctor and/or physical therapist. This way you can make the most of this machine.

Yes it would. It comes with a diagram on how to use it for abs and other workouts.

You could ,BUT it may require another person to hold it inverted. You might be able to do inverted pull-ups using the handles and this may require someone to hold in inverted position. Very little shifting of weight from the pivot point will move this in either direction. I've seen pictures of people doing at least partial sit ups with no problem.

The best answer I can give is it depends on how big your torso is. If you're doing standard crunches it is a little awkward but not impossible. It would work well for decline crunches though. I prefer to take it off though since it restricts expansion of the abs when fully strapped down. it works great for added weight for everything else though: circuits, pullups, pushups, legs, etc.

It's a flexible material I just tried to do crunches yes you can with this belt!

Technically you can it for that the machine is high enough , I have never tried doing that only regular dips and weighted dips. But also you would have to rotate your hands since there is no direct straight bar like normal. I would advise being careful of you do try them

You can do some shallow crunches while inverted, but the table is so well balanced that it will probably right itself if you bend too far up.

you can do almost anything, provided that you have strong balance and control skills... Since the power dip station hangs from a chin bar and only rests on the door frame, you would need to adapt (removable) straps to secure the station while doing rows, to prevent it from moving to the sides and backwards... Good luck

Yes, there is an "exercise" sheet it comes with and shows how situps can be done. If you put the back rest in the full decline position, then you can sit on the seat, wedge your ankles in and do some situps. It's tough because your back doesn't really hit anything - tighten your abs to stay horizontal and then back up.
