rzen fce8fa4c17 Author the machine exercise circuit with props and corrected hip machine motions

Fourteen Planet Fitness machine exercises join the rig library, each with
authored motion, info page, and schematic equipment via the new props layer
(scene shapes, cables, bars, pads) rendered in lockstep by render.py and the
in-app figure renderer. Abductor and Adductor are authored face-on with the
real seated machine motion — knees-bent legs swinging apart/together against
knee pads — replacing the earlier middle-split depiction. The watch target
now bundles the figure renderer and motion rigs too.

Raw Blame History

Abdominal

The seated crunch machine — loaded spinal flexion with the lower back supported.

Category: Main circuit
Type: Machine-based trunk flexion
Targets: Rectus abdominis, deep core
Prescription: 4 × 10

Setup

Sit with the pads resting against your chest and your feet flat on the platform. Grip the handles lightly and set the seat so your hips stay tucked into the base of the back pad.

Execution

Contract your abs to curl your ribs down toward your pelvis, driving the chest pad forward.
Pause at the bottom of the crunch, feeling the abs fully shortened.
Return under control until the torso is tall again — don't let the weight yank you back up.

Cues

Curl the spine, don't just hinge at the hips — think "shorten the front".
Keep your lower back in contact with the pad throughout.
Let the abs move the weight; the arms only steady the handles.

Common Mistakes

Pulling with the arms or shoulders instead of the abs.
Hinging from the hips with a flat, rigid spine.
Rushing the return and bouncing out of the top.

Progression

Add weight once all four sets of ten are a controlled curl; slow the lowering phase to three seconds for extra time under tension.
