QUICK-START GUIDE:

Your Core Magic arrives fully assembled. Follow the simple steps to select your
resistance level:

2. Remove all 8 end caps from your Core Magic.

3. Choose your resistance level, beginner (top), intermediate (middle) or advanced
(bottom) refer to below diagram for correct plug position.

BEGINNER

INTERMEDIATE

ADVANCED

4. Take 4 plugs (attached to bands) from above thigh pad and insert all 4 plugs, (one
at a time) into the hole with segment facing down. Twist clockwise 90 degrees
until segment “clicks” into place and faces left. This is locked position. Ensure all
four plugs are clicked into position before using your Core Magic.

5. Adjust figure 8 handle height by twisting clockwise or anti-clockwise to a position
where arms rest on figure 8 handle at a 90 degree angle from torso.

6. Do not twist anti clockwise past the max mark located on figure 8 handle thread.

CORRECT TECHNIQUE – AB CRUNCH:

• Position yourself on an upright chair or stool
ensuring back is straight and feet are flat on
floor.

• Ensure your seating position allows for your
knees to be bent at a 90 degree angle.

• Position the Core Magic vertically, thigh pads
placed with back edge centrally on top of
your thighs.

• Cross your forearms and rest them across the
“8-pack” handle.

• Now for the tricky part – Inhale sucking your
tummy in.

• Now focus on lowering your chest slowly
towards your thighs as you lower the 8-pack
handle in a folding motion.

• Keep your head down tucking your chin
towards your chest, tracking your forehead
down over your crossed arms.

• This will ensure you are engaging your Core
instead of using your arms to carry out the Ab
Crunch exercise.

• Push the figure 8 handle as low as possible
down the column, then slowly extend back
to the start position in a controlled manner,
maintaining tension at the top of the move.

• Ensure you push all the way down for full
range of motion.

• Allow 1 second to push figure 8 handle down,
hold handle in low position for 1 second
then allow 1 second to extend back to start
position.

WORKOUT INSPIRATION:

For the Ab Crunch and left and right Oblique Crunch try to carry out between 25
and 50 repetitions (reps) per set. Try 2 sets of 12-15 reps per workout. Once this is too
easy, increase the number of reps per set or change the resistance level.
Don’t forget there are three resistance levels available – beginner, intermediate and
advanced. Adjust the positions to decide the amount of resistance, ensuring plugs
are always locked in place before use.

This can be done standing or sitting.
Hold the Core Magic horizontally and
press the foam padding on either end
inwards, as if trying to press your palms
together. Return to the start in a controlled
manner. In order to get a balanced workout
you will need to swap over arms and
repeat same number of reps.

With torso facing forward, lower your
chest to your thighs but this time rotate to
the left so that the right side of your chest
travels towards your left thigh. Return to
start in a controlled manner and repeat
in the opposite direction. Ensure handle
is unscrewed slightly to allow a rotational
movement of the handle.

REVERSE CRUNCH

Perform this exercise lying on your
back. Palms facing down, grab
handles shoulder width apart and pull
in a downward direction keeping arms
straight throughout moving pads
up the track.

Place the Core Magic on the floor to
the left side of your chair and lean over
it with your left forearm flat on the
handles. Bend sideways to push the
handles down before returning to start
in a controlled manner. Swap over sides
and repeat same number of reps.

With torso facing forwards, lower
your chest towards your lap. When
you reach a midway point, rotate to
left and right without moving up or
down before returning to the start in a
