for how long to we hold the bysicle for?

[VIPSam17]

@DreamingAgent799 A good workout is 25 minutes for 3 days every week.Always change your excercises though.When you do the bisicle you don't need to hold it you do it just like she's doing.You can do that for 5 minutes.I would suggest run in place 5 mins then arm workout(nothing drastic the first 2 days you don't want tired arms) 5 mins then ab workout 5 mins then leg excersise 5 mins then run in place 5 mins.That's a total cardio workout.Running in place jogs your heart rate.

this is great!

[NICinYOURface]

merely that we see a woman do abdominal exercises really tempts me to do the same! but are there not other abdominal exercises than just those two?

[Miriam31]

Thank you for showing those good exercices :)

[helene09paris]

I liked this so much I am going to start doing these two exercises today!

[basicallyinsane]

haha, that lady has really tiny calf muscles and big thighs. great exercise thing though!

[witnessforfitness]

Thanks for posting! I love doing these ab exercises. How long do you do the plank for?

[MsClarzkinz]

i'd say as long as you can, or atleast 30 seconds

[justdanceeex]

i've done the plank in PE but i never knew its abs exercise.

i'm going to do this everyday now! thanks!! :D

[xteebabex]

for the first exercise, how long should i do it for?

[sweetdewdrops226]

hey this is the 1st time that i'm gonna start exercising.i hav a few doubts?

1. can i just do it on the floor without a yoga mat?will that hurt me in any way?

2. should i do these exercises on an empty stomach - like 4 hrs after i eat or as soon as i wake up in the morn?

3. what about water intake?

plz reply.

and thanx for the gr8 vid!

[calvin07960]

If you don't have a yoga mat, you can probably comfortable do these exercises on a carpet. Since you are just beginning, start off slowly - you don't want to over do it the first time! You will likely find it uncomfortable to do these exercises right after you've eaten but you don't necessarily have to wait 4 hours. If you've had a light meal or snack you shouldn't have a problem. Water intake - I'm really not a nutritional expert but keeping hydrated is important.

[sweetdewdrops226]

thanx! :)

How come every time I try cruches or sit ups or anything laying on my back, I have back pains really bad?

[emilieautumnfan]

You must be pushing from the wrong bit. You're using your back to push yourself up while you should be rolling up your shoulders and using your stomach. Hope that helps

[calvin07960]

Sorry, I'm not sure why you have back pain when you do sit ups, etc. but it is not uncommon. I would not continue to try to do these type of exercises until you find out what causes the back pain. There may be alternative exercises you can do to strengthen your core without pain.

[Bronii18]

my back cracks when i do the bycicle, is this bad?

[BeforeAndAfterTV]

Hi Bronil18, sorry for the late reply, had to check with my sister Carmen to correctly answer your question. Carmen suggests that you ensure that your back is flat on the ground and to raise your legs higher.  If your back still cracks when you do this, definitely remove the bicycle from your routine! Thanks for the question, Katie

[Bronii18]

thanks, that seems to have stopped the cracking

[BeforeAndAfterTV]

Great Bronli18! Katie

[Hotives]

@Bronii18 Your back cracks because it is getting rid of the tension and is furtherer straightening your back so this is perfectly normal, also when you do crunches you will feel your back cracking...

[TDez2010]

piece of cak

[Helen17245]

Katie and Carman, I'm up to a minute but not able to lift the leg yet. I have to remember to breath as well. I'll keep trying.

[Angelli13]

oh the last one is hard...i never manage to do that....

[shay1112]

omg i hate planks! they makes us do this in school! i shake soo much

[akkaside]

isnt that good though? Doesn't it mean its working?
