Cable crunches are a great way to increase your abdominal strength and break through strength plateaus.
If you've been slaving away doing crunches on the floor and have hit a strength plateau, then adding cable crunches to your routine might be able to help you break that plateau.
 
There are many ways to add resistance to your abdominals and the cables are just one way.

Learn the best ab exercises

My abs are killing me today, from my last ab workout.  It was a simple workout, I started with 200 sit ups (4 sets of 50 reps) and then I finished with 200 crunches (4 sets of 50 reps).

The Stability ball can be used in so many ways to increase your core strength.  In addition to crunches and piques, you can also do many different plank variations using the stability ball.
 
Try this hard core exercise on the stability ball: plank forward rolls or try plank side to side rolls on the stability ball.
 

The plank and its many variations are best abdominal exercises for women and men.  Combine the plank with a stability ball and you've got the makings of a great core workout.
 
Try 1 leg planks with the hands on a stability ball or try them with the feet on a stability ball.
 

The Stability Ball and the Bosu Ball are great tools for core exercises, and when you combine planks and knee ins on either ball you can get a great core workout.


Try knee ins on the stability ball.
 
Or try knee ins on the bosu ball.
 

Medicine ball leg raises are a tough core exercise.  Regular leg raises are hard enough, but adding a medicine ball between your feet will really push up the core work.
