Short instructions

How to do Decline Crunch

Follow the numbered positions in the image and use each instruction as its matching cue.

  1. 1

    Set the starting position

    Take the declared Decline Crunch setup, support the feet or pelvis as specified, place the spine neutral, and brace the abdominal wall before moving.

    Breathing: Breathe steadily; do not hold your breath.

  2. 2

    Perform the effort phase

    Exhale and curl the rib cage toward the pelvis for Decline Crunch; lead with the trunk rather than pulling on the head or driving with momentum.

    Breathing: Exhale through the effort.

  3. 3

    Control the end position

    Pause at the strongest controlled abdominal contraction while the neck stays long and the lower body remains stable.

    Breathing: Breathe steadily; do not hold your breath.

  4. 4

    Return under control

    Inhale and uncurl the spine or torso slowly until the shoulders and trunk return to the starting support without relaxing abruptly.

    Breathing: Inhale through the controlled return.

Setup and safety note: Use the declared Decline Crunch setup, maintain controlled joint alignment, and stop if the movement causes pain.
