Crunch kneeling on the rope

To commence the "Seated Cable Crunches" in a kneeling position, you grasp the cable at the upper block of the cable pulley. Subsequently, kneel down in front of the cable pulley and direct your gaze forward and downward. In the initial position, keep your back straight while slightly leaning forward. It's important to find a comfortable position, with the exact angle of your upper body being of secondary importance. The hands holding the cable are positioned directly in front of your head.

Movement execution

To initiate the exercise, you curve your upper body toward your thighs, employing the typical crunch movement that results in your back no longer being straight. During this curving motion, exhale. Your arms remain nearly unchanged and maintain an angle of approximately 90 degrees. Your head is situated close to the ground. Then, inhale deeply and raise your upper body back to the starting position.
