The Cable Seated Crunch is a workout that targets the abdominal muscles. It involves using a cable machine to provide resistance while performing a crunch movement.
How to perform
To perform Cable Seated Crunches, follow these steps:1. Sit on a cable machine bench with your back against the pad and your feet flat on the floor.
2. Adjust the cable machine so that the cable attachment is positioned above your head.
3. Grab the cable attachment with both hands, keeping your arms extended straight above your head.
4. Engage your core muscles and slowly lower your torso towards the ground by bending at the waist.
5. Keep your back straight and your head in a neutral position as you lower yourself down.
6. Once you feel a stretch in your abdominal muscles, reverse the movement by contracting your abs and lifting your torso back up towards the starting position.
7. Exhale as you crunch and inhale as you lower your torso back down.
8. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
It is important to maintain control throughout the movement and focus on using your abdominal muscles to perform the crunch, rather than relying on momentum. Adjust the weight on the cable machine as needed to challenge your muscles while maintaining proper form.
Equipment required
Cable
Cable equipment consists of adjustable pulleys attached to weight stacks that allow for resistance training. This equipment is commonly used for strength training exercises that target various muscle groups in the body, such as chest, back, arms, and legs. Cable equipment provides a versatile and functional way to perform exercises that mimic real-life movements, improving muscle endurance, stability, and coordination.
