Instructions:

  • 1Start by selecting the resistance on the machine. The resistance should be enough to challenge you but not so much that it compromises your form
  • 2Grasp the handles of the rope and with your back facing the machine, move a few steps forward
  • 3Bend at the waist and stabilize your lower body while keeping your arms straight above your head
  • 4Perform a crunch by bending at the waist and bringing your elbows down to your thighs
  • 5Return to the starting position by slowly extending your waist and lifting your upper body

Tips:

  • Keep your head and neck in a neutral position throughout the movement
  • Ensure that the movement is controlled and steady, don't rush
  • Concentrate on squeezing the abdominal muscles as you perform the crunch
  • Avoid pulling with your arms, let your abs do the work
