Exercise Description
Standing Cable Crunch is an effective core isolation exercise using a rope attachment. It primarily targets the rectus abdominis muscles but also strengthens the deep core muscles.
Exercise Instructions
-
Step 1
Stand shoulder-width apart in front of a high rope machine with your back to the weights. Reach back and grab the rope with an overhand grip, palms facing your shoulders. Raise the rope to ear level and lean your neck forward slightly, bending your elbows and pointing them downwards. This is your starting position. -
Step 2
Squeeze your torso and bend at the waist, lowering your shoulders to your knees until your torso is parallel to the floor. Pause and then slowly return to the starting position.
