Walk Off Weight: Bicycle

Bicycle

  1. Lie on your back pulling your knees in toward your chest so that both your hips and knees are bent 90 degrees. Place your hands behind your head.
  2. Exhale as you curl your head and shoulders off the floor and twist your torso to the right. At the same time, pull your right knee in toward your chest and extend your left leg so that it’s at about a 45-degree angle to the floor. Crunch, bringing your left shoulder toward your right knee. Inhale as you slowly lower. Repeat, twisting to the left. Continue alternating sides for 10 to 20 total reps.

Make It Easier Keep your feet on the floor and lift one leg at a time, bringing your shoulder toward the opposite knee.

Make It Harder Lower the extended leg closer to the floor without touching it.
