Gym Exercise Card
Equipment
The cable seated crunch targets the core by using a cable pulley system to add resistance to the standard crunch movement. This exercise emphasizes the rectus abdominis and helps in building both strength and definition in the abdominal region.
How to do it
- Sit on a bench facing the cable machine, holding a rope attachment.
- Position the rope behind your head, elbows bent.
- Engage your core and lean forward, curling your torso towards your thighs.
- Pause briefly at the bottom, then slowly return to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of reps.
