Decline Reverse Crunch
An ab exercise targeting the lower portion of the abdominal muscles with added resistance from decline position.
Instructions
- Lie on a decline bench with your head on the higher side and feet nearer the floor.
- Grip the bench or the handle above your head for stability.
- Begin with your legs bent at 90 degrees, knees over your hips.
- Contract your abs to curl your hips off the bench and draw your knees towards your chest.
- Slowly lower your legs back to the starting position without letting your lower back arch.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using momentum instead of abs to lift legs.
- Letting the lower back arch during the descent.
- Pulling with the arms instead of using core strength.
