Decline Reverse Crunch

Body only Abdominals

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

How to do the Decline Reverse Crunch

  1. Lie back on the decline bench with feet unsecured; grip the bench behind your head for stability.
  2. Draw your knees toward your chest, then curl your hips up off the bench at the top of the movement.
  3. Lower your hips and legs slowly — resist gravity rather than dropping.
  4. The motion comes from your lower abs curling your pelvis up, not from swinging your legs.
