Exercises (Cable Crunches)
Active Lifestyle
Consult your physician before starting any diet and/or exercise plan.
Muscles Worked
Abs (upper and lower) or Rectus Abdominus
Position and Movement
Attach a handle or rope to a high cable. Hold the rope/handle with both hands just over the top of your head in a kneeling position. Slowly bring your head and shoulders down toward the floor on bowing motion. Hold the muscle contraction at the bottom of the movement, then slowly raise yourself in a controlled manner back to the starting position.
Tip
Concentrate on using proper form to ensure your abdominals are doing the work, as your arms can become involved in bringing the rope down if your technique is off.
