Bicycle Crunch

Instructions:

1) Start with your legs straight, feet off the ground, and your hands behind your head.

2) Bring one knee towards your body (keeping the other straight) and simotaneusly bring your opposite elbow towards that knee. They should touch or come very close to touching. The elbows should stay relatively back and not come too far forward

3) Then do the same for the other side. Repeat.

Helpful Hints/Cues:

1) Keep your abs braced so your lower back is flat on the ground and not arched

2) Focus on moving your entire shoulder towards your knee and not just the elbow.

Common Mistakes:

1) Not reaching far enough each time.

2) Moving your elbow towards your knee without actually doing a “crunch" motion.
