Ab Bicycle Exercise – Effective For Abs!

Posted on April 17, 2012 | 1 Comment

An extremely effective ab workout is the “ab bicycle.” It is a very easy exercise but proves to be a great move to incorporate in an ab routine.

First put down a yoga or exercise mat and lay down flat on it, facing the ceiling. Next place your hand behind your head (but be careful not to lift your head with your hands) and raise your head slightly above the ground. Start your leg movements by bringing both knees into the chest and lifting your shoulders up. Rotate both legs and shoulders so that the left arm is moving the same time as the right and vice versa.

Try doing 3 sets, 15 reps each side. Always use your own discretion in determining reps and sets.
