Make every rep count.

  2. 02

    Brace your core and lift your shoulders slightly off the floor.

  3. 03

    Exhale as you bring one knee in and rotate your torso to drive the opposite elbow toward that knee.

  4. 04

    Pause briefly at the top to fully squeeze your abs.

  5. 05

    Slowly extend back toward the start and repeat on the other side in a smooth, controlled “pedaling” rhythm.

  6. 06

    Keep your lower back gently pressed into the floor and avoid yanking your head. Complete the prescribed reps.
