Not Beginner, Not Intermediate But Advanced Abs Exercise

For professional level ab workouts, the cable crunch is the best exercise which you may perform because you can adjust the resistance substantially by adding weights to the stack on the cable pulley. This type of variation to regular crunch ab workouts is great for long time and experienced body builders. If you are just in the beginning stages of it, it is suggested that you try out the basic crunches first before progressing upwards as your ab muscle endurance increases.

Set up the equipment you will use in your ab workouts by attaching a rope handle to a high cable pulley, and placing a light weight to the stack as initial resistance. Position your body for the ab workouts by kneeling on the floor with your back to the equipment, and your head slightly nodded with your eyes focused downwards. In this position in yours your upper legs should be at an angle of 90 degrees with respect to the floor, and your torso almost parallel to it. Slightly arching your back, hold the ends of the rope in each hand with your hands above your head.

Begin by pulling the rope towards your knees and down to the floor, while keeping your pelvis and your lower back stationary in the process. Stop pulling just before your head reaches the floor and contract the tensed abs for two counts for maximum effect in your ab workouts.

Finish off the exercise by carefully allowing the weights to pull back your body towards your starting position. Allow the weights to pull your back past the upright position in order to stretch your abs a little further than the usual. Take a breathing pause, and then contract your abdominals again, until you have performed the required number of repetitions.
