Cable Reverse Crunch
A reverse crunch using a cable machine to add resistance and target the lower abdominals.
Instructions
- Attach a rope handle to the low pulley of a cable machine.
- Lie on your back in front of the machine, grabbing the rope with both hands.
- Position your hands above your chest with elbows slightly bent.
- Bend your hips and knees to 90-degree angles, lifting your feet off the ground.
- Use your lower abs to pull your knees toward your chest, curling your hips off the floor.
- Slowly reverse the motion to return to the starting position.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pulling with the arms instead of engaging the core.
- Not controlling the motion on the way down.
- Using too much weight, causing poor form.
