Decline Bench Crunches / Sit-ups
- Position yourself on a decline bench so that your feet are secured by the pads. Lay back and place your arms across your chest or behind your head.
- Begin the movement by pulling yourself up by your abdominals. Do not force yourself up by pulling on your neck. Let your abs do all the work.
- Once at the top, slowly lower yourself back down. Again, focus on the abs doing all of the work. Repeat by bringing yourself back up.
