Primary Muscle: Abs
Equipment: Cable
Level: Beginner
Purpose: To target the upper abs.
Execution: From a kneeling position facing away from the pulley cable, grasp a rope attached to the high pulley cable with both hands. Holding the rope overhead, crunch down driving your head toward your knees. Squeeze at the peak contraction and give a strong exhale before returning to the start position. Allow the weight to pull you back enough to keep the tension on your abs and not transfer the tension to your lower back.
