Raising and lowering the upper body in an inclined supine position (trunk bend) ► sit up

Individual work

Back position on the incline bench, move your upper body towards your knees and then return to the starting position.

Starting position:
- Lie on your back on the incline bench, tuck your feet into the pads
- Hands crossed/interlocked on your chest
- Shoulders do not touch the bench
- Tense your core muscles

Finishing position:
- Upper body not fully erect (constant tension in the abdominal muscles)

Attention:
Head in a neutral position (no double chin), shoulders not fully slumped.

Lighten:
The flatter the angle of the incline bench (to straight), the easier the exercise is.
Arms in front position (hands next to thighs).

Harden:
The steeper the incline bench is set, the more difficult the exercise is.
Arms angled to the side of the head or even in a high position.
