Instructions
3/4 Sit-Up
Lie down on the floor and secure your feet. Your legs should be bent at the knees.
Place your hands behind or to the side of your head. You will begin with your back on the ground. This will be your starting position.
Flex your hips and spine to raise your torso toward your knees.
At the top of the contraction your torso should be perpendicular to the ground. Reverse the motion, going only ¾ of the way down.
Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
Cable Judo Flip
Connect a rope attachment to a tower, and move the cable to the lowest pulley position. Stand with your side to the cable with a wide stance, and grab the rope with both hands.
Twist your body away from the pulley as you bring the rope over your shoulder like you're performing a judo flip.
Shift your weight between your feet as you twist and crunch forward, pulling the cable downward.
Return to the starting position and repeat until failure.
Then, reposition and repeat the same series of movements on the opposite side.

Both exercises target the abdominals. 3/4 Sit-Up is a beginner exercise using bodyweight, while Cable Judo Flip is beginner and uses cable. Choose 3/4 Sit-Up if you have access to bodyweight, or Cable Judo Flip if you prefer cable.
