Fitness equipment group Life Fitness has launched a new abdominal bench and four new versions of its Cable Motion single station strength-training machine.

Featuring the patent-pending AbCam System, the Ab Crunch Bench has been designed to allow users to perform a natural crunch movement which minimises hip flexion.

No adjustments or additional steps are needed to start exercising and entry and exit is easy, with an open frame area between the back pad and the foot.

Incorporating design elements from the company's CV, Signature and Cable Motion series - including oval tubing and contoured cushions - the bench also has an integrated weight horn, plate loaded and allowing very fine adjustments to the degree of resistance.

Also just unveiled by Life Fitness are four new versions of its Cable Motion single station strength-training machine - Chest Press, Shoulder Press, Row and Pulldown - and suitable for users at all levels of experience.

All feature lower starting resistances than traditional selectorised machines, with easily adjustable resistance levels; gas assisted seats for easy adjustment; and dual weight stacks and independent handles.
