Decline Crunch (Bodyweight)

How to do it

Secure your legs at the top of a decline bench and lie back with the hands at the chest or temples. Curl the shoulder blades up toward the hips through a short range, squeeze the abs at the top, then lower slowly against the decline. The steeper the decline the harder it gets, so start shallow — and keep the hands light on the head rather than pulling the neck forward.
