Fitness equipment for the best abdominal training
A defined stomach, a strong core, and an upright posture—all these are the results of effective abdominal training. But anyone who wants to see and feel long-term results needs not only motivation and discipline, but also the right equipment. At motion sports, we offer high-quality abdominal trainers and attachments for multi-benches that will help you take your abdominal training to the next level—at home or in the gym.
Abdominal training: Everything you need to know!
Why is abdominal training important?
The abdominal muscles are far more than an aesthetic ideal. They fulfill a central function in the entire musculoskeletal system:
- Stabilization of the spine
- Improve posture
- Relief of the back
- Power transmission in almost every movement
- Avoiding injuries
A strong stomach is the foundation for a healthy and powerful core . And that's exactly what we offer you the right fitness equipment for.
What is the best belly workout?
The question many ask themselves: How do I get rid of belly fat? The honest answer: Only through a combination of targeted training, endurance, and nutrition .
1. Muscle training with equipment
Targeted training with specialized abdominal machines allows for effective strengthening of the abdominal muscles. The advantage over bodyweight exercises is that you train in a more controlled, isolated, and often safer way – especially for beginners or in a home gym.
2. Cardio training
Fat can only be burned through a calorie deficit . Regular endurance training such as running, cycling, or rowing supports calorie burn and helps reduce belly fat.
3. Nutrition
Without a balanced diet, even the most intense abdominal workout will be largely ineffective. Less sugar, healthy fats, plenty of protein , and a moderate calorie intake are crucial for getting visible abs.
Which workout is best for the stomach?
A holistic abdominal workout takes into account all muscle groups in the core of the body:
- Rectus abdominis : for the classic “six-pack”
- Lateral abdominal muscles (Obliquus internus/externus): for trunk stability and rotation
- Deep, transverse abdominal muscle (transversus abdominis): acts like an inner belt and provides stability
The best abdominal training combines static holding exercises (e.g. planks) with dynamic movements (e.g.
Crunches, leg raises). Abdominal machines ensure clean execution, higher resistance, and optimal ergonomics.
Benefits of abdominal training with machines
- Better movement control : You move in a guided and ergonomic manner – this protects your spine.
- Targeted muscle activation : You can target specific areas of the abdomen more intensively than with bodyweight exercises.
- Individual load control : Depending on the device, you can vary the resistance or incline angle – ideal for progression.
Tips for successful abdominal training
- 2-3 times a week is enough – abdominal muscles need recovery like any other muscle.
- Don’t just train your abs in isolation – combine your training with core exercises.
- Pay attention to proper breathing – exhale when tensing, inhale when relaxing.
- Perform each exercise slowly and cleanly – quality beats quantity.
- Vary your training – use different angles, equipment and intensities.
Which 3 abdominal exercises are best?
Effective abdominal training relies on targeted, well-thought-out exercises that target all parts of the abdominal muscles. The following three exercises are considered particularly effective and form the foundation for sustainable abdominal muscle training—for both beginners and advanced users.
Crunch on the weight bench – for the upper abdominal muscles
One of the most well-known and effective exercises for the upper abdomen is the crunch —especially on a negative incline bench. The incline intensifies the movement, as the abdominal muscles must work against gravity. This makes the exercise more challenging and efficient. Those who perform the crunch using the ATX® AB option —a specially developed abdominal trainer attachment for select ATX multi-benches—bench benefit from stable leg support , non-slip padding , and angles of motion optimally tailored to abdominal training. This combination enables safe, effective, and comfortable training directly on the training bench. This ensures safety, comfort, and maximum muscle activation.
To perform the exercise, lie on the bench with your legs fixed and roll your upper body upwards in a controlled manner, maintaining constant tension in your stomach. It's important not to use momentum, but to roll slowly and hold the top short. The advantage: The upper and middle abdominal muscles are specifically targeted, which contributes to the development of a defined "six-pack."
Leg raises – the classic exercise for the lower abdomen
While crunches target the upper part of the rectus abdominis, leg raises are the best choice for the lower abdomen —an area that's particularly difficult to train and often neglected in training plans. In leg raises, the straight or slightly bent legs are slowly raised and lowered from a supine position. This creates enormous tension on the lower abdomen, as the long lever forces of the legs require considerable muscle strength.
Leg raises on a multi-tower are among the most effective exercises for the lower abdominal muscles – especially when performed on a high-quality station with a padded backrest and armrests, such as the ATX® Multi Tower or the Vision Fitness Stack Weight Dip/Pull-Up Machine . The padded backrest ensures a stable upper body position, while the side armrests provide secure support. This prevents evasive movements and keeps the focus on the abdominal muscles.
The exercise is particularly effective when the legs are lowered slowly and in a controlled manner —this is precisely when the full power of the eccentric muscle work is unleashed. This not only leads to a more intense training stimulus but also promotes muscle building and definition in the lower abdominal area.
Beginners can start the exercise with bent knees to reduce leverage, while advanced users can work with straight legs or intensify the movement with additional hip lifts. Those who want to increase the difficulty further can also add ankle weights for maximum training intensity and visible progress.
Russian Twists – targeted training of the lateral abdominal muscles
The oblique abdominal muscles—also called the obliques—are essential for a balanced core and a slim waist . One of the best exercises for this area is the Russian twist. This involves alternating left and right rotations of the upper body while leaning back slightly while holding a weight (e.g., a medicine ball or weight plate ) in front of the chest.
This rotation specifically activates the oblique abdominal muscles while improving core stability. Performing the exercise with your feet raised also engages the deep core muscles. The intensity can be individually adjusted by changing the weight and the rotation speed.
Russian twists can be performed with exceptional stability and minimal strain on the joints on an exercise mat , a weight bench , or a training device like the ATX Torso Trainer . The slightly elevated position of the equipment improves posture and optimally relieves strain on the back. Furthermore, the incline allows for fine-tuning the intensity of the exercises—a clear advantage over floor training.
