The air bike is a simple and effective ab movement that mimics a pedaling motion. It challenges rotational stability while firing up your obliques, lower abs, and coordination.

Instructions

  1. Lie flat on your back with your hands beside your head and knees bent to 90 degrees.
  2. Lift your shoulders slightly off the floor into a crunch position.
  3. Extend your right leg forward while bringing your left knee in toward your chest.
  4. Simultaneously twist your torso to bring your right elbow toward your left knee.
  5. Switch sides in a pedaling motion, keeping the movement smooth and controlled.
