Decline Bench Reverse Crunches
Starting Posture
1. Lie flat on a decline bench with your head at the lower end and grab the sides of the bench for support. Your arms should be straight and your palms facing downward.
How to Exercise
2. Contract your abs to lift your legs up towards the ceiling, rolling your pelvis backward and raising your hips off the bench. Exhale as you perform this movement.
Breath Control
3. Hold the contraction at the top for a second, then slowly lower your legs back down to the starting position, inhaling as you do so.
Common errors
6. Common errors include arching your back or using your arms to lift your legs. Ensure that your abs are doing the work and maintain a stable upper body position.
