Cable Standing Crunch demonstration gif

Instructions:

  • 1Stand facing the cable machine with the rope attachment at the highest position
  • 2With each hand on an end of the rope, bend your torso forward while contracting your abdominal muscles
  • 3Continue bending until your elbows meet your thighs or the contraction can't go further
  • 4Hold the position briefly, then slowly return to the starting position
  • 5Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions

Tips:

  • Focus on contracting your abs, not on moving your elbows
  • Keep your movements smooth and controlled to engage the abs throughout the exercise
  • Avoid using your arms and shoulders to do the movement, the pull should come from the abs
  • Don't force your body into a full bend if it causes discomfort or pain
