Cable Crunches are a great way to train your abs with consistent resistance, and the FitnessTracker app makes it easy to track improvements in weight and reps over time. This movement targets the rectus abdominis while minimizing hip involvement.
Instructions
- Attach a rope to a high pulley and kneel a few feet away from the stack, holding the rope handles near your head.
- Flex your hips slightly and brace your core. This is your starting position.
- Crunch downward by contracting your abs and pulling your elbows toward your thighs, keeping your hips stationary.
- Pause briefly at the bottom of the movement, then return to the starting position under control.
- Repeat for the target number of repetitions, maintaining tension on your core throughout the set.
