How to do it

  1. Lie on an incline bench with your feet secured under the foot holds.
  2. Place your hands behind your head without pulling on your neck.
  3. Engage your core and lift your torso while twisting, aiming one elbow toward the opposite knee.
  4. Lower your torso back down slowly and repeat, alternating sides with each rep.
  5. Maintain a controlled motion and focus on engaging your core throughout.
