Twisting Cable Crunch.

Make every rep count.

1. 01

   Clip a rope attachment to the high pulley on a cable machine.

2. 02

   Kneel facing the machine and grab the rope ends, bringing your hands to the sides of your head (keep your elbows in and your hands near your temples).

3. 03

   Set your base: hips stacked over your knees, knees comfortable, glutes tight, and keep your hips still—only your torso should move.

4. 04

   Brace your core, then crunch your ribs toward your pelvis as you pull the rope down.

5. 05

   At the bottom, add the twist: rotate your torso so one elbow travels toward the opposite knee (think “rib to hip,” not pulling with your arms).

6. 06

   Pause briefly while keeping tension in your abs.

7. 07

   Slowly return to the start under control—don’t let the weight yank you up.

8. 08

   Repeat for reps, then perform the same motion twisting to the other side.
