HOW TO USE THE AB COASTER® CTL
FEATURES AND TIPS: The Ab Coaster® CTL is designed to help you exercise your abdominal
muscles via a leg lift motion. Unlike the popular ab crunch exercise, which works your ab muscles
from the “top down”, the Ab Coaster® moves in the opposite direction, working your abs from the
“bottom up.” The motion requires you to lift your knees and legs while contracting your abs.
The Ab Coaster® features a Seat attached to a swing arm to aid you in performing the abdominal
lift motion. The starting position requires you to kneel on the Seat while resting your arms on the
arm rests. The exercise requires you to lift the Seat using your abdominal muscles, not your upper
body. The key to performing the exercise properly is to concentrate on contracting your ab muscles
while lifting the Seat. Your upper body should be stable and not moving while you exercise.
Setting up the Ab Coaster®: Make sure the Ab Coaster® is placed on a flat, stable surface.

EXERCISE INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Approach the Ab Coaster® CTL from the rear of the unit.
2. Adjust Hand Grip and place forearms and elbows on arm pads. Grasp handles to maintain
your balance.
3. While grasping handles, place knees on Seat so that your feet are hooked on the back edge of
the seat. You are now ready to exercise.
4. Keeping your back straight, pull your knees forward until you fully contract your abs. DO NOT
move your upper body while performing exercise. Make sure you use your abs to lift the Seat
carriage, not your upper body.
5. Return slowly to starting position, and repeat.
Please visit www.AbCoasterClub.com and www.AbCoasterBlog.com
to view video of proper exercise usage of the machine.
ADJUSTING THE SEAT
The Seat is free-moving so that you
can turn your knees and work on your
obliques. Turn knees to right to exercise
left oblique; turn knees to left to exercise
right oblique. Move knees side
to side for free-style motion training.
ADJUSTING THE
HAND GRIP
To adjust hand grip, pull up
on pop-pin and move grip up
or down. Then secure the grip
by releasing pop-pin into the
hole. Make sure hand grip is
secure before using.

RESISTANCE TRAINING (Weights Not Included)

adding weights (clip not included). Before adding any weight, ensure that you are able to perform the
exercise with proper form without any additional weight.
