Instructions
1. Attach a rope handle to the high pulley of the cable machine.
2. Kneel on the floor to the side of the cable machine with your inside knee down and foot behind you, and your outside knee up. Your body should be facing straight ahead, with the rope handle above and to the outside of your head.
3. Grasp the rope handle with both hands and place them near the side of your head with elbows pointing out to the side.
4. Keeping your hips stable, contract your obliques to bend your torso to the side towards the knee that's up, pulling the rope handle down towards that knee.
5. Slowly return to the starting position, resisting the pull of the cable as you straighten your body.
6. Complete the desired number of repetitions on one side before switching sides and repeating the movement.
Make sure to keep the motion controlled, and avoid using momentum to perform the crunch. Adjust the weight of the cable to suit your fitness level.
