Lying Bicycle Crunches are a great exercise to target your abs and obliques. Here are the steps to perform them:
- Lie on your back with your legs extended and your hands behind your head.
- Lift your shoulders and head off the floor and bring your right knee towards your chest while twisting your left elbow to meet it.
- Switch sides and repeat the movement with your left knee and right elbow.
- Keep alternating sides in a fluid motion, as if you are pedaling a bicycle.
- Do as many reps as you can in a set time or until you feel the burn in your core.
