Primary Muscle: Abs

Equipment: Bodyweight

Level: Intermediate

Purpose: To target the upper abs.

Execution: Lay flat on a decline bench with your legs locked under the pads. Place your hands by your ears but avoid holding your neck.

Be sure to fully exhale your breath as you crunch up and inhale as you lower yourself.
