Kneeling Cable Abs Crunches target the rectus abdominis and obliques by using a cable machine to provide constant tension throughout the movement. This exercise enhances core strength and stability.
exercise_detail.how_to_perform
- Attach a rope handle to a high pulley on a cable machine.
- Kneel down facing the machine, about two feet away, with your back straight.
- Grab the rope handles with both hands and position them behind your head, keeping your elbows bent.
- Engage your core and pull the rope down by contracting your abs, bringing your elbows towards your thighs.
- Hold the contraction briefly at the bottom of the movement.
- Slowly return to the starting position, maintaining tension in your abs.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
