A standard ab bench features a flat base and a bar for wrapping the legs around. These products allow for the standard sit-up and crunch that is at the core of almost all ab workout routines. With an incline, this standard workout is challenged and the amount of stress increased. Fortunately, this is a good type of stress as they added force of gravity provided by the incline increases the amount of effort to do a crunch or sit-up. These inclines can be adjusted for whatever the difficulty desired, and they are a great tool for slowly increasing the amount of difficulty as a fitness program progresses and one's abs become much stronger.

These products are often featured in combination with a number of other different tools including Olympic benches or as part of a multi-station gym. The incline can be used for many other exercises in addition to ab workouts such as the declined bench press.
