Instructions
1. Secure your legs at the end of the declined bench and lie down with your back flat on the bench.
2. Hold a weight plate with both hands and place it on your chest or extend your arms so the plate is above shoulder level. Keep your arms fixed in this position throughout the exercise.
3. Contract your abdominal muscles to lift your upper body towards your knees, exhaling as you perform this part of the exercise. Keep the movement controlled and concentrate on using your abs rather than your hips or legs.
4. Pause briefly at the top of the movement with your abs fully contracted.
5. Slowly lower your body back to the starting position while inhaling.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
