Top 10 Proven Ab Killers of All Time
9. The Bicycle
It’s also one of the more difficult ab exercises, because it engages all of the abdominal muscles in one way or another.
Lie on your back with your feet flat on the floor, your knees bent and your fingers laced behind your head.
Keeping your lower back firmly planted on the floor, and without pulling on your head, engage your abdominal muscles and bend and twist at the waist, bringing your left elbow to your right knee over your belly.
Move back to center, fully extending your right leg without resting your head or feet on the floor. Bring your right elbow and left knee together in the same way, extending the leg fully at the end of the rep.
Perform The Bicycle slowly and with controlled motions, breathing normally throughout. Keep an imaginary orange between your chin and neck to ensure your abs are doing the bulk of the work.
To decrease the intensity a bit, you can tap your feet on the floor after each rep instead of extending it straight out. However, this move isn’t quite as effective.
Work your way up to two sets of 30 repetitions.
