TITLE Sit Up Bench: Padded Ab and Core Training Bench

A sit-up on the floor stops at the point your hip flexors take over. A bench takes you past it.

The foot anchor holds your ankles so you can work through a longer range without a partner pinning your feet, and the padded top supports the lower back where a bare floor digs in. Crunches, full sit-ups, twists for the obliques and decline work all run off this one frame. In a boxing gym it does specific work: body-shot conditioning starts with a trunk that holds under load, and this is the station that builds one. On a school floor it takes constant use from students who need their feet held and no partner free to hold them.
