Success Tips
• Keep your knees slightly bent and feet on
Standing Platform.
• This exercise must be performed

take you—do not use momentum to
increase your range of motion.

Abdominal Exercises
FINISH
ACTION
• Tighten your entire abdominal
area and slowly rotate your rib
cage and arms away from the
Power Rod® unit 30-40°, as if you
were rotating with a rod through
the middle of your spine.
• Slowly reverse the motion,
returning to the start position
without relaxing muscle tension.
