Incline Bench Sit Ups
Start without a weight but work your way up to using a medicine ball or barbell. Lie back on the bench and hook your
feet around the pad at the end for support, then elevate your upper body upwards keeping the tension in your abs.
If using a weight or medicine ball concentrate on pushing it up towards to ceiling. This exercise works the entire
abdominal region.
Weighted Bench Crunches
Sit on the end of a bench with a dumbbell between your feet, support your upper body by lightly holding the edge
of the bench behind you. Perform a crunch elevating your upper body and your legs towards each other. This
exercise is another great one for hitting the lower abdominals.
