Cable Reverse Tuck Crunch

1. Attach ankle straps to both ankles and connect them to the lower setting on a cable machine.

2. Lie face-up and a short distance away from the cable machine, ensuring the cable has slight tension.

3. Start with your legs extended straight, slightly hovering above the ground, and your arms relaxed by your sides, holding onto the cable machine for support.

4. Contract your abdominals and pull your knees toward your chest by flexing your hips and knees. The movement should mainly come from your abs, and not by swinging your legs.

5. As you pull your knees in, the weight from the cable machine will add resistance, making your muscles work harder to perform the crunch motion.

6. Pause briefly at the top with your knees tucked and abdominals squeezed.

7. Slowly return your legs to the starting extended position, controlling the movement to resist the weight and tension from the cable.

8. Perform the desired number of repetitions and sets while maintaining proper form and controlled movements.

Tips:
- Keep your movements smooth and controlled to maximize engagement of your abdominal muscles and prevent momentum from taking over the exercise.
- Adjust the weight on the cable machine to a level that is challenging but allows you to maintain good form throughout the set.
- Remember to breathe out when you tuck your knees in and breathe in as you extend your legs back out.
- Keep your lower back pressed against the floor throughout the exercise to avoid strain on your lower back.
