How to do it

  1. Begin by lying on a decline bench with your feet secured under the footpads.

  2. Place your hands behind your head with your elbows pointing out to the sides.

  3. Engage your core and lift your upper body towards your knees and stop until a few inches away.

  4. Lower your upper body back to the starting position with control. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Form tips

  • Avoid pulling on your neck with your hands; focus on using your abdominal muscles to lift your shoulders.

  • Perform the movement with control to maximize muscle activation and prevent injury.

  • Breathe steadily throughout the exercise, exhaling as you lift your shoulders and inhaling as you lower them.
