Kneel on the ground in front of a cable machine, holding one end of the rope in each hand around your face.
Exhale and bend your torso forward without moving your lower body.
Continue until you can no longer do so.
Inhale and allow your torso to be raised back up, returning to the starting position.

Lower abdomen, from just above your belly button to your pubis. The lower half of the six pack abs.

Rope Attachment

Try to grip the attachment so that you are holding a similar length of rope in each hand.
