Decline Crunch

Body only Abdominals

The Decline Crunch is a strength movement that targets your abdominals. Here's how to do it with clean form.

How to do the Decline Crunch

  1. Hook your feet under the pad anchors and lie back on the decline bench, arms crossed or hands behind your head.
  2. Curl your upper torso toward your knees, contracting your abs at the top.
  3. Lower slowly until your back is flat — don't drop all the way to a full lay-back.
  4. Lead with your chest, not your neck; avoid pulling on your head if hands are behind it.
