How to: Cable Kneeling Crunch
- Attach a rope handle or strap to a high pulley cable.
- Kneel a few feet away from the machine, facing away with the cable positioned above your head.
- Grasp the handle with both hands and pull it down as you crunch your torso downward toward your knees.
- Hold for a moment, then return to the starting position in a controlled manner.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Tips
