If you're tracking core development in the FitnessTracker app, the Decline Reverse Crunch is a perfect choice for hitting the lower abs. It teaches you to control your pelvis and spine under load, making it ideal for both beginners and advanced lifters.
Instructions
- Lie back on a decline bench and grip the top edge with both hands for support.
- Extend your legs out straight and keep them together, just above parallel to the floor.
- Brace your core and curl your hips up, bringing your knees toward your chest as your pelvis tilts.
- Pause and squeeze at the top, then slowly lower your hips and legs back to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of reps with slow, controlled movement.
