Bosu Ball Cable Crunch With Side Bends

A variation of the cable crunch that engages the obliques by incorporating side bends while using a Bosu ball.

Instructions

• Position a Bosu ball near a cable machine.
• Attach a rope handle to the cable and adjust it to the appropriate height.
• Sit on the Bosu ball with feet flat on the floor, facing away from the machine.
• Grasp the rope handles with both hands, bringing them over your shoulders.
• Engage your core and perform a crunch by bringing your torso down towards your knees.
• Incorporate a side bend by twisting your torso to either side during the crunch.
• Return to the starting position slowly, untwisting as you do.
• Repeat the movement on the opposite side.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Not maintaining balance on the Bosu ball, which can lead to improper form.
• Using momentum instead of core strength to perform the crunch and bends.
• Incorrect cable height adjustment, resulting in awkward pulling angles.
• Neglecting to twist the torso adequately, reducing the effectiveness on obliques.
