Exercise Description

The twisting lying cable crunch builds core strength while hitting your obliques hard. It gives you better rotation power and a more defined midsection.

How To

1. Lie on your back near a low cable pulley with rope attachment overhead 2. Grab the rope with both hands and position it behind your head 3. Keep your knees bent at 90 degrees with feet flat on the floor 4. Crunch up while twisting your torso to one side, bringing your elbow toward the opposite knee 5. Lower back down with control and repeat the twisting lying cable crunch on the other side

Form Tips

• Keep constant tension on the cable throughout the entire twisting lying cable crunch movement • Focus on rotating from your core, not just moving your arms • Don't pull on the rope with your hands - let your abs do the work • Exhale as you crunch up and twist, inhale as you lower down

Common Mistakes

• Pulling the rope with your neck and hands instead of using your core muscles • Moving too fast through the twisting lying cable crunch without controlling the weight • Not rotating enough - the twist is what makes this exercise effective
