Cable Reverse Crunch

- Ankle strap attachment

Starting Position

1. Adjust the Cable: Set the pulley on the cable machine to the lowest position.
2. Attach the Ankle Strap: Secure the ankle strap to the cable.
3. Lie Down: Position yourself on your back on the floor, facing upward, about a foot away from the cable machine.
4. Secure Your Legs: Attach the ankle strap to your ankles and ensure it’s tight enough to stay in place during movement.
5. Bend Your Knees: Raise your legs off the ground and bend your knees at a 90-degree angle, keeping your feet together.

Movement Instructions

1. Engage Your Core: Tighten your abdominal muscles to prepare for the movement.
2. Pull Your Knees In: Slowly curl your hips and knees towards your chest, using your abdominal muscles. Your feet should move towards the cable machine.
3. Hold the Position: Pause briefly at the top of the movement, feeling the contraction in your abs.
4. Lower Your Legs: Slowly return to the starting position, extending your legs back to the 90-degree angle while maintaining control.
5. Repeat: Perform the movement for your desired number of repetitions, focusing on controlled movements throughout.

Tips for Proper Form

- Keep your back flat on the ground and avoid arching it.
- Do not use momentum; rely on your core strength to perform the movement.
- If you experience discomfort in your lower back, modify the range of motion or reduce the resistance on the cable.
- Breathe steadily: inhale while lowering your legs and exhale while pulling your knees in.
