Instructions:

  • 1Sit on a flat bench facing away from the cable stack with your feet flat on the floor
  • 2Hold the cable rope attachment with both hands and position it at the side of your head
  • 3Crunch forward and down, bending at the waist while keeping your hips and lower body stationary
  • 4Hold for a moment then slowly return to the starting position
  • 5Repeat for the desired amount of reps

Tips:

  • Ensure your abdominal muscles are doing the work, not your arms
  • Keep your neck relaxed and in line with your spine
  • Perform the movement slowly to increase muscle tension
  • Do not use a weight that is so heavy that it forces you to use your back and hips to move the weight
