Standing Crunch Exercise

The standing crunch is a good exercise to add to your workout routine because that is how you use the muscles in real life -- standing up.

How to perform a proper standing crunch:

• Attach a rope handle to a high cable pulley.
• Stand with your back to the weight stack, and hold the ends of the rope behind your head.
• Now crunch until you feel fatigued.
