that piece of equipment which you stand on and then bend your upper body towards the floor? Is it just to maintain flexibility of the spine or does it build muscle?

cheers

can you describe it a bit better? I really can't picture which machine your talking about :? maybe my Uni gym doesnt have one but I can't picture anything where your standing up and bending over :?

if your bending over and pulling weights then its most likely working your abdomen... but thats just a guess because I dont know exactly what piece of equipment your talking about...

hmm, its quite hard to describe. U hook ur legs on these pads and stand on it with ur thighs pressed against pads and then bend towards the floor. there r no weights involved.
