How to do the suspended abdominal fallout

  1. Attach a suspension trainer to a high anchor point and adjust the straps to waist height.
  2. Stand facing away from the anchor point and hold the handles with your arms extended in front of you.
  3. Lean forward at the waist, keeping your body straight and your core engaged.
  4. Lower your body as far as you can while maintaining control and tension in your abs.
  5. Pause for a moment at the bottom, then slowly raise your body back up to the starting position.
  6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Sets and reps

Start with 3 sets of 10–15 reps, resting 45–60 seconds. When every set feels easy, add reps, slow the lowering phase or move to a harder variation.

Muscles worked

The main muscle is the abs. The obliques and hip flexors work as secondary muscles. See all ab exercises or every bodyweight exercise.
