The iliopsoas muscle is responsible for flexion and supination of the hip, and with a fixed leg, it flexes the lumbar spine. Also a powerful flexor of the spine is the rectus muscle – one of the most powerful abdominal muscles. The press flexion exercise allows you to give a good load on these muscle groups.

Starting position: sitting on the simulator, the back is straight, the rope handle is held by the hands on both sides of the neck. The back is in a vertical position. When bending over, try to touch your knees with your elbows. After tilting, return to the starting position. Control the position of the back – it should occupy a strictly vertical position.

All movements are performed solely by the abdominal muscles. The hands holding the handle are practically in a fixed state during the exercise.

Technically, the exercise is not very difficult. However, what may seem like an insignificant trifle – rounding the back or helping hands, together add up to an important factor on which the effectiveness of the exercise depends.
Hold the rope handle behind your neck on either side.
Tilt your torso forward, trying to touch your knees with your elbows.
Straighten up again so that your back is vertical to the floor.
All movements should be performed by the muscles of the press, do not pull the handle with your hands.
