Position

Lie on your back with your hands behind your head, elbows pointing out to the sides, and legs raised off the ground.

Movement

• Engage your core muscles and lift your shoulders off the ground, bringing your right elbow towards your left knee while extending your right leg.
• Switch sides by bringing your left elbow towards your right knee while extending your left leg in a pedaling motion.

Breathing

Exhale as you twist and crunch, inhale as you switch sides and extend your legs.

Tips

• Focus on twisting from the core and avoid pulling on your neck with your hands.
• Keep your lower back pressed into the ground to maintain proper form and engage the abdominal muscles.
• Perform the exercise at a controlled pace to maximize muscle engagement and prevent strain.
