How to do Decline Crunch:

Step 1: Lie down on a decline bench and secure your legs.
Step 2: Put your hands on either side of your head, keeping your elbows in.
Step 3: Push the small of your back down into the bench and start to roll your shoulders off it.
Step 4: Push down forcefully with your lower back while you contract your abdominals. Exhale as you do so. Your shoulders should only lift off the bench for approximately 4 inches. Keep your lower back on the bench.
Step 5: After holding the contraction for a second, start to come down slowly to the starting point. Inhale as you do so.
Step 6: Repeat for the desired number of reps.
