How to do the Cable Standing Crunch
- Lie on your back with your knees bent, feet flat on the floor, and hands lightly behind your head.
- Engage your core and lift your shoulder blades off the floor, bringing your chest toward your knees.
- Hold briefly at the top, keeping tension in your abs.
- Lower back to the starting position under control and repeat.
Form tips
- Avoid pulling on your neck with your hands — use your core to lift.
- Exhale forcefully as you crunch up to enhance core contraction.
- Control the lowering phase rather than dropping back to the floor.
