Description

The cable kneeling crunch is an effective exercise for targeting the abdominal muscles.

Starting Position

Start by kneeling in front of a cable machine with the cable overhead, grasp the handles, and kneel down while keeping your back straight.

Technical Execution

Engage your core, exhale as you crunch down towards your thighs by flexing your spine, then return to the starting position with control.

Range of Motion

Focus on a full range of motion by fully contracting the abs at the bottom of the movement and returning to the starting position without resting at the top.

Variations

Variations include using different attachments like ropes or bars for different grip positions.

Common Mistakes

Common mistakes include using momentum instead of engaging the core, pulling with the arms, and arching the back excessively.

Practical Advice

Focus on contracting the abs throughout the movement, exhale as you crunch, and keep a neutral spine.
