Exercise Description

The decline bench knee raise targets your hip flexors and core. It builds functional strength for running, jumping, and daily movement patterns.

How To

1. Set up on a decline bench and grip the top handles firmly with both hands for stability. 2. Let your legs hang straight down from the decline bench, keeping your core engaged throughout. 3. Pull your knees up toward your chest using your hip flexors, focusing on controlled movement. 4. Hold the top position briefly, then slowly lower your legs back to the starting position. 5. Repeat the decline bench knee raise for your target reps, maintaining steady breathing.

Form Tips

• Keep your back pressed against the decline bench pad to avoid swinging or momentum. • Focus on pulling with your hip flexors rather than just lifting your knees up randomly. • Control the lowering phase of each decline bench knee raise - don't just drop your legs. • Breathe out as you lift your knees and breathe in as you lower them down.

Common Mistakes

• Using momentum to swing your legs up instead of controlled hip flexor engagement. • Letting your back arch away from the decline bench knee raise pad during the movement. • Lowering your legs too fast, which reduces the exercise's effectiveness and control.
