Rope Cable Crunch 1

1) With a mat underneath you, begin with your butt overtop of your knees, and your hands grasping a rope attached to a cable in front of your head.

2) With only your abs, pull the rope in a downward motion until your hands or elbows touch the mat.

3) Return to the start position.

Notes: Avoid sitting backward to aid in pulling the weight down.  This exercise should involve only your abs.  Try reconsidering your weight if you cannot complete the exercise without the aid of momentum.
