How to do inclined ab crunch

Coach's Tips

This exercise works your abs by modifying the bench angle, enhancing the targeted impact.

Start Position

1. Begin by lying on your back on a mat or flat surface with your knees bent and feet firmly planted.

2. Rest your hands behind or next to your head, keeping your elbows open.

Proper Form

1. Activate your core by pulling your belly button inwards toward your spine.

2. Gently lift your shoulder blades off the floor, curling your chest toward your hips.

3. Pause briefly at the peak of the movement, then gradually lower your shoulder blades back to the beginning pose.

Breathing Technique

1. Breathe in as you return to the initial position.

2. Breathe out as you curl your chest towards your hips.

Precautions

1. Refrain from tugging your neck with your hands; maintain wide elbows and an elevated chin.

2. Prevent lower back arching by keeping your core engaged continuously.

3. Focus on using your core to drive the motion, avoiding reliance on momentum.
