Lying Bicycle Crunch

Description

Lying Bicycle Crunches are a great exercise to target your abs and obliques. Here are the steps to perform them:

  1. Lie on your back with your legs extended and your hands behind your head.
  2. Lift your shoulders and head off the floor and bring your right knee towards your chest while twisting your left elbow to meet it.
  3. Switch sides and repeat the movement with your left knee and right elbow.
  4. Keep alternating sides in a fluid motion, as if you are pedaling a bicycle.
  5. Do as many reps as you can in a set time or until you feel the burn in your core.
