 Abdominal Training
The mid-section muscles consist of the rectus abdominis and the internal and external obliques.
The key abdominal muscles for low-back health may be the internal obliques, as opposed to the rectus abdominis (Plowman, 1992).
Although most people think of the oblique muscles as being only frontal muscles, it is important to note that their fan-like fibers extend all the way around the sides to the lower back in much the same way a corset fits a person.

Someone who knows a little more about abdominal anatomy (just enough to be dangerous!) may try doing twisting sit-ups and side-bends to target the external obliques—the muscles that wrap along your sides and perform twisting motions.
The machines' main drawback is that they hold your body in one particular position, and may not fully work the muscles from all angles.
In daily life, your obliques act as stabilizing muscles, which just means they help brace the torso while other muscles are working.
