How To Perform the Decline Crunch
- Set a decline bench to a comfortable angle, typically between 30-45 degrees, and secure your feet under the foot pads.
- Lie back on the bench with your head at the lower end and hands either across your chest or behind your head for support.
- Engage your core and lift your upper body towards your knees in a controlled motion, exhaling as you crunch up.
- Pause briefly at the top of the movement, ensuring you feel a strong contraction in your abs.
- Slowly lower your upper body back to the starting position, inhaling as you descend.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining proper form and avoiding pulling on your neck.
