Decline Sit-Up
When you first begin to use the Ab Mat keep in mind your body
has never been subject to a full range sit-up before. You will have developed
strong and weak points through the range of motion. The strong point will be in
the range you usually did crunches in and the weak points will be at the
beginning and end of the sit-up. Rather than cheat through these points we
suggest you try the Decline Sit-up. The Ab Mat exercises are like any other
resistance exercises, unfortunately the starting point, which is body weight
sometimes is too heavy. Using a decline board can help that. You will find using
the Decline Sit-up is also good for do high repetitions also. Note: If you find
yourself sliding down the board, just position yourself near the bottom of the
board and put your feet on the ground next to the board.
