Decline Weighted Sit Up Overview

A decline situp bench positions your upper body so that it’s lower than your hips and thighs. This position Makes your body work harder because you have to pull your body up against gravity.

Decline sit ups are very effective for building your core, thighs and pelvis muscles. They improve spinal flexion, core strength, prevent injury, and help to stabilise your body.

How to Do it

Sit on the bench with bent knees with your feet under the padded foot bar.
Hold a dumbbell or a weight plate, across your chest or above your head.
Lift your upper body (torso)to bring your chest close to your thighs.
Stop here a few seconds, then return to the starting position.
