Ab Bicycles

- Start on your back with your feet slightly off the ground and your hands behind your head.
- While keeping your right leg extended, bring your left knee in to your chest. As this happens, reach over with your right elbow to try and touch your left knee.
- As you extend the left leg back out, repeat the exercise on the opposite side, reaching your left elbow toward your right knee as it comes in.
- Keep your lower back flat on the floor. To do this, we must engage our cores.
-Breathe out as we reach our elbows toward our knees. This will activate and squeeze our abdominals.
- Keep the extended leg hovering just above the floor. If we raise it too high, we will not get the full effect of the exercise. The extended leg is just as important as the one that is coming in.
