Exercise Description

The lying cable knee raise exercise builds core strength and targets your abs with constant resistance. It gives you better control than regular knee raises.

How To

1. Lie flat on a bench with your head near the cable machine and grab the low pulley cable behind your head. 2. Keep your arms straight and locked in position throughout the lying cable knee raise movement. 3. Bend your knees and pull them up toward your chest while keeping your core tight. 4. Squeeze your abs at the top and slowly lower your legs back to the starting position for the lying cable knee raise. 5. Keep the movement controlled and don't let the weight stack touch between reps.

Form Tips

• Keep your lower back pressed against the bench during the lying cable knee raise to protect your spine. • Pull your knees up using your abs, not momentum from swinging your legs. • Hold the cable firmly but don't pull with your arms during the lying cable knee raise. • Breathe out as you bring your knees up and breathe in as you lower them down.

Common Mistakes

• Using momentum instead of controlled movement makes the lying cable knee raise less effective for your abs. • Letting your lower back arch off the bench puts stress on your spine. • Pulling the cable with your arms instead of using your core muscles during the lying cable knee raise.
