How to do the Band Decline Sit Up
- Secure the middle of the resistance band to a sturdy anchor point behind the headrest of a decline bench. Lie on the bench with your feet secured under the foot pads and hold one handle of the band in each hand, positioning the band over your shoulders.
- Contract your abs and lift your upper body up towards your knees, bringing your chest towards your thighs until you are in a seated position.
- Slowly lower your upper body down the bench, maintaining control and tension in the band until your back rests on the bench.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Form tips
- Ensure the resistance band is securely anchored behind the headrest to avoid slipping.
- Exhale as you lift your upper body and inhale as you lower it back down.
- Avoid pulling on the band with your arms; focus on using your abs to lift your body.
