Today's exercise is called the Bicycle. Most of us are familier with this ab-tightening exercise, but I am still going to disclose information for those that are not accustomed to it.
The bicycle targets the internal & external obliques and the rectus abdominis. Lie on your back with your legs extended and your hands behind your ears. Bend one leg as the opposite elbow crosses toward your knee. Alternate your arms with the opposite legs, keeping your legs close to the ground as you cycle back and forth. Aim for 30 reps to each side. Mix it up by changing your tempo. Remember to keep your elbows back as you cross. The closer your legs are to the ground, the more difficult the move.
