They are different ways to load more upper or middle or bottom or too oblique abdominal muscles. Occupies the upper part of the pan when it is fixed and moves the upper body. The lower part when the fixed upper body and moving the pan. When you move the two parts of the body, so the whole abdomen burden evenly.
