Roman Chair Sit Up

Instructions

1. Sit on a Roman chair (hyperextension bench) with your feet secured under the foot pads and hands crossed on your chest or behind your head.
2. Lower your torso backward, extending past parallel until you feel a stretch in your abs.
3. Curl back up by contracting your abs, raising your torso until you are upright or slightly past vertical.
4. Control the descent to avoid swinging and repeat for the prescribed reps.
