How to: Cable Kneeling Crunch
- Attach a rope or handles to the cable machine and adjust it to a suitable height.
- Kneel in front of the cable machine, grasping the handles with both hands.
- Keep your knees hip-width apart and engage your core.
- Bring the handles down towards your knees while crunching your torso.
- Hold the contraction at the bottom for a moment, then slowly return to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
