Decline Sit-Up: how to do it and form tips

A sit-up on a decline bench that increases both the range of motion and the resistance at the bottom. Challenges the full length of the rectus abdominis.

Form tips

  1. Hook your feet under the pads and begin lying fully back on the decline.
  2. Sit up until your torso is upright — go all the way for the full range.
  3. Lower with control; don't use momentum to bounce out of the bottom.
