Bench Sit-up Decline Instructions

  1. Lie down on a decline bench with your feet secured under the foot pads.
  2. Place your hands behind your head, interlacing your fingers.
  3. Engage your core muscles by pulling your belly button towards your spine.
  4. Slowly lift your upper body off the bench, curling your torso towards your thighs.
  5. Lower your upper body back down to the starting position, keeping your core engaged throughout the movement.

Bench Sit-up Decline Tips

  1. Position the bench decline at a comfortable angle, not too steep or flat, to maximize ab engagement.
  2. Place your feet securely under the foot pads, anchoring yourself for stability throughout the exercise.
  3. Keep your hands lightly touching the sides of your head, avoiding pulling on your neck or using your arms to lift.
  4. Engage your abs by drawing your belly button towards your spine, creating a strong core connection.
  5. As you lift your upper body, focus on using your abs to initiate the movement, rather than relying on momentum.
  6. Exhale as you lift and squeeze your abs at the top of the movement, then inhale as you lower back down with control.
  7. Perform the exercise slowly and with proper form, aiming for quality over quantity, to avoid strain and maximize ab activation.
