How to do it

Pause for a one-count at the top with the hips fully curled.

  1. 1

    Lie on a decline bench with your head higher than your feet and your legs bent at a 90-degree angle.

  2. 2

    Hold onto the top of the bench with your hands for stability.

  3. 3

    Contract your abs to lift your hips off the bench, bringing your knees towards your chest.

  4. 4

    Slowly lower your hips back to the starting position without letting your feet touch the bench.

  5. 5

    Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Expert tip

Focus on using your abs to lift your hips rather than swinging your legs to create momentum.
