Ab Isolation Exercises : The Bicycle Ab Exercise

[wesker789]

if you can barely do any, is it still effective to at least continue to attempt to do them?

[cornbagel]

@wesker789 Of course, just make sure you are not hurting yourself. Start with just a few, and if you are consistent, you should be able to more over time.

[fatbuffalo]

now i know why its so easy for me... i've been doing it wrong =.=

[lizzydakid]

i hate those progressive commercials, can they pick a more annoying spokeswoman???

[mechdinosaur]

I was doing crunches since I was six, and I never stopped doing them (except when I was 9 thru 12) so now I have a eight-pack!

[AoDConnection]

So if im going for a six pack and im part of the way there (by that i mean you can see it depending on how i sit and whether im tensed) what would be the advisable amount of these to do a day and what variation?

[KokiriEmerald]

This is actually a lot harder than I thought it'd be.

[fourwindsoh]

Great info in this video. Many good tips, ty!

[HaloModder555]

3 sets of 30 reps is a good start. Add more if you have extra weight.

Get something! Got mail? Beatings will continue until morals improve!

Saying popular phrases will ensure you breathe and remain motivated.

At least according to the content that I read on the box of Honey Nut Cheerios during breakfast time.

[ArtForTheEars]

haha cute ablicious, thanks :)

[wilde77]

@MissSteph213

it's easier than it seems with this exercise to forget to breathe :)

[TheMslara26]

looks awesome!

[JustinPadovani]

Typical expert village.

[87Billyjoe]

She black...

[viciousKev]

Are these better inclined or declined at 5 degrees? I don't have a level floor

[mekore]

@viciousKev ?? how could it be possible?? are you living in a bargain unit of an expensive apartment?

[viciousKev]

@mekore i live and work on a boat half the time

[viciousKev]

Would these be better slightly inclined or slightly declined? I'm working with a 5 degree grade and no level surfaces. I'm on a boat. For real

[TheSirhclee]

Gosh these are a bitch without the weights

[jasonmason471]

good exercise!

[27manveer]

she's on juice



[ItsBMayne]

am i the only one whose penis gets squished by my thigh when i do this?

[Vwrestler96]

fuck 80 to 100. after im done the excersiozei still need to be able to move!

[huldu]

I'm pro so i only need to do these in my head. Works wonders! Thanks.

[crashingxhearts]

Thank you! This is very helpful :)

[jtgtjtgt]

Damn she's hot , i'd fuck that

[arjunrajshekhar]

@jtgtjtgt Sire, the word you are looking for is "tap".

[Dom20002007]

she isnt very clear, beginner 20-30 reps a day? or per set? Cause no way 20-30 per set is beginner....

[21ryrunner]

@Dom20002007 yeah, i would start out with 30 reps for at least three sets. lol

[Dom20002007]

@21ryrunner well i do 30 reps per set for 3 sets with a 12lbish weight but im not beginner! Some fat bastard of the street would struggle doing 5 reps even without a weight

[Vanhellsinge]

is this exercise just for women?

[XcstacyLoveJones]

@Vanhellsinge guys can to i do it excellent results

[HomicidalDavid]

Can this be bad for lower back? I am lifting weights and don't want to do ab exercises that are bad for lower back.

[hootyoot]

Wait, so for beginners the 20-30 reps per day? Or like 20-30 then a break and then do another set?

[secretagentclank123]

@hootyoot do as much as you can. try to push yourself everytime so that the stronger you get, and the higher your number gets, you can track your progress better which will give you more motivation.

[steviebjr]

this hurts, but my abs show more detail after just like 2 mins of this.

[mh6761]

does this actually work?

[gabbie363]

@mh6761 yup :)

[butterloverrx3]

damnn thats alot of videos  ^

[vorheiz]

[arehumansgood]

this kills your neck

[vdl1996]

This is the most effective core workout I know of, it works out your obliques and abs simultaneously without having to do 4 different exercises.

[shany9988]

This is my favorite ab exercise. It hurts but it works :)

[farahthirteen2]

Tried doing this. But I can't ㄱ ㄱ I guess I'll just stick to dancing and that freaking hell sit ups. LOL

[B9King937]

nothing sexier than a woman with muscles

[tedoymisojos]

wow the body of this woman is just wow Haha

[bluetube147]

She is fucking monster strong im never gonna mess with her lol

[BrokenHorn90]

Damn, I don't normally say these kinds of things on YouTube videos, but - She's is fucking sexy o.o'

[ArcadeSean]

Susan boyle and 11 of her friends were watching this..

[sheldons7]

Her legs are so so sexy

[MageoftheMoon]

12 Fat Loser's watched this video..

[1simpledragon]

Hang on, you would do more reps with a lighter weight for a beginner and less reps with a heavier weight for more experienced trainers.

[bartol82]

Actually I think you're not doing it right... you should go back down (straight) with your upper body before changing side (in the middle of the movement), not just roll from one side to another. I don't see how you could breath properly doing it like this, there is not enough time to inhale and exhale between side changes.

[1ByronicHero]

My legs fell asleep... fail U_U

[hushers101]

Does this work the external obliques? II'm trying to cinch my waist in a little more...

[spnkypunky]

if i did this daily how long would it take for it to show and actually show not just be able to feel them and actually see them

[soufman08]

will this give you abs or just a flat stomach?

[AambeiXXL]

@soufman08 You can't burn fat at a specific place.

[soufman08]

@AambeiXXL im already thin but im asking if this excersise will make my abs more visbile?

[AambeiXXL]

@soufman08 I'm very thin aswell, onl ya fatpercentage of 8%.. and yes, they did tart to show more..

but i'm doing it a little different, what I do it pretty much a mix between icycles and situps

[soufman08]

@AambeiXXL oh ok im not trying to get big bulky abs but hopefully bicylce crunches will make my abs visible

[AambeiXXL]

@soufman08 It will, it takes time though.

[soufman08]

@AambeiXXL im going to start doing them daily starting from next week hopefully they will be visible for summer july/august

[LightJehuety]

@llvanessalsaysll Did you do it with weights? 

[ewayus]

awesome

[steroidzr4loserz]

@llvanessalsaysll it's actually the #1 ab exercise, i don't feel anything either, and i have 8 pack abs from the "exercises you feel nothing in"

[Karan2Klive]

I work out usually. I got hench shoulders toned arms n pecs but I need to get atleast a 4 pack in a month. Will this help?

[foreveryourzz101]

@Karan2Klive probably if you eat healthy and keep at it...do 30 the first day and do it 5 times or more a day and each day gradually go up 10 more reps

get some sleep and drink milk and water!! Thats very important

[Karan2Klive]

@foreveryourzz101 thanks x

[foreveryourzz101]

@Karan2Klive no prob hunn

[TheDarkSide15]

Hey this one hurts my back a lot before I can get much burn. I aint no fatty either unlike the  comment about people eating chips. I can run 2k in 12.05 and a bit more common sense from myself would see me smash that time to aroun 11".20 probably.

[butterandjellymytoes]

um I'm not gunn lie I don't know slot about workin out. in 16 and while I have a 6 pack o don't want it to end up goin away (it's begining to not show as defined) but u felt no work out from this at all! I was doing it right I checked several times. why an I not gettin the burn Im looking for?

[folk658]

@butterandjellymytoes Damn can you not spell?

[P1233T]

@butterandjellymytoes alotta people are saying they dont feel it. Wait till a day after, you'll feel sore probably. Time after time, you'll get less and less sore even if you increase the reps. Not because it doesnt work anymore, but because your body is used to getting sore so it doesnt get sore anymore. However, after 4-6 weeks you should change each workout to get better improvements.

[zmoviewatcher1234]

I did this exercise fro two days and all my muscles just below from ribcage to lower abdomen is sore. So should i continue this exercise or not?

[sheenamae09]

@zmoviewatcher1234 i think thats a good sign.

[ihatebobsaget1989]

@zmoviewatcher1234 yeah you will be sore for the first few days because youre used to it, wait until you muscles are 100% before doing it again, and you should eventually be able to do it everyday.

[TheAbStand]

This was really easy to follow. Great job! Looking forward to more!

theabstand*net

[Kcin5041]

10 people ate chips while watching this video

[blackhawke10]

@Kcin5041 yeah there is no possible way you would know that

[Kcin5041]

@blackhawke10 I was watching this video while eating chips with nine of my friends so im pretty sure would know....

[blackhawke10]

@Kcin5041 oh ok it all makes sense now

[Blank00024]

@Kcin5041 You sir just made me want chips.

[KA1ROUZ]

@Kcin5041 13*

[majorballer]

nvm i had captions on, :P

[majorballer]

those text sure doesnt hlep make the video moer clear

[cemetery1]

Trust the statistics, this workout is far superior to sit-ups because sit-ups only target one or two areas and it is also bad for your back. The right diet is just as important as the workout if not more important so you can't just do a few sets of this a week alone and expect results. If you can help it try not to skip breakfast either that's you most important intake of protein. Also, stay off the sodas.

[thisiscooler55]

How do you breathe during the exercise. Ive always had troubles breathing when working out

[ben5r]

@thisiscooler55 its called inhaling and exhaling

[phavenger]

@thisiscooler55 u would have to explore inhaling and exhaling through ur own way. No one can teach u the method of breathing while working out.. it's just like ur unique way of eating or wadsoever

[coolusername25]

they say this is one of the best and u can tell look at her stomach wen she does them

[schmatever]

i'd love to hear this beautful lady explaining this as im making love to her in the doggy position.

[dukeslaps]

since doing ab exercises burn off basicly no fat at all especially in the stomach area other things other then diet would be jumping jacks and running they'll both help you lose fat all over and most importantly flatten the mid section

[jpsallum]

i think i would be considered a begginer. does that mean that if i do the advanced training (80-100 and grab 10 pound weight) will i see results faster?or it is bad do the training that is not for your level?

[InvisibleMasquerade]

@jpsallum its bad to do too much too fast, that's how you get hurt and then set back, trust me do 3 sets of 12...and you WILL see a difference 

[jpsallum]

is the weight necessary? does it make a lot of diferrence?

[InvisibleMasquerade]

@jpsallum no its not necessary

[cihan822006]

nice form a lot of people get too much trunk flexion which will cause shearing of your spine. well demonsrated. not really well explained

[KarasawaL30]

Been doing this for a while now. Really starting to see results.

[Lucyxpress]

I'm not fat, I'm like 130lbs, 5"10, I'm a pretty small guy to be honest, but I'd like a stronger core and more defined abs, but every video I goto is about burning fat and diet and all this fat burning, and I just want to tone, whats the best exercise for this?

[dukeslaps]

@Lucyxpress to get your abs to show AT ALL you need diet, abs need diet more then any other muscle becuse the muscle is in your stomach where the food stores but isn't a problem if you know how to diet(what foods to eat alot and avoid)

[jihadsoup]

Can someone explain the breathing pattern real quick? Breath in on the way up?

[ARTHEROPY]

Will this burn fat?

[collabi]

@ARTHEROPY Not as much fat as prolonged cardio will burn -- you simply expend more calories in forty minutes of running than you do in a few minutes of crunches. This exercise will, however, tighten your tummy up a little, and make it easier for you to do all kinds of other exercises safely.

[WTF00912]

@ARTHEROPY no.

[12eebok]

So THAT'S how you're supposed to do it! Fucking gym teachers are all stupid assholes if you ask me...

[BrianFitness]

ab-licious abs good job.

[royalsteven]

These videos make u horny :D

[eltotoloco69]

@royalsteven LMFAO!

[royalsteven]

:D :D

[tony23zzz]

@royalsteven LOLOLOL

[royalsteven]

Ehehehe :D

[92camarodude]

Amazing i just clicked on the video and i get preview for a Burger King burger? I'm trying to loose weight not Gain! WTF youtube?

[y0uRsw33t616]

@92camarodude funnily enough, not everyone who wants to work out is fat.

[boomhower52]

@92camarodude I got a mormon AD

[bilbo1181]

why would you want a six pack if your a girl?

[moist888]

Once you go black, you never go back

[Drinzo101]

@moist888 Im so sorry sir. But have you heard Michael Jackson? I think not.

[moist888]

Once you go black, you never go back

[xXxBloodRepelzxXx]

is that 100 per day or before you stop and take a break?

[mirrorpiece]

doing 3 X 60 reps with my legs as low as possible. unless i feel tired, then i will raise them to the height in the video.

[bucko06]

I don't like this exercise, the motion is very imprecise and awkward

[bubblt]

that is hard.

[Mesozoical]

I keep on trying to do this, but the joint that is between my pelvis and my femur keeps on popping, with lots of pain. :(

[roybotnik]

Same thing here...it sucks!

[mastertheoneajma]

@Mesozoical hahahaha lolz

[Voodoomac999]

@Mesozoical ive had that a couple of times, i do 100 of them every night and its only just recent its been happening, it popped tonight about 3 times, it kills like a bitch now D:

[Mesozoical]

@Voodoomac999 I wonder why that happens? It's ANNOYING. I WANT ABZ BUT I CAN'T BECAUSE MY FEMUR KEEPS POPPING.

WTF.

[runtone]

damn i did 30 but she means 30 as in 60 LOL

[bubblt]

@runtone yeah what the heck,  i think for absolute beginners it should be like 10 meaning 5 for each knee.

[fleedermouse]

@runtone funny as hell

[ferrari1997]

your elbows should not wat? i cant catch wat shes saying about the elbows

[tasukerusi]

what she said is that you should see with your eyes your arms.

[pugsly708]

@ferrari1997 Your elbow should point East and Wershtpf. You should not see your elbows in your peripheral.

[elbowturn]

SHE SAID keep your elbows dang ... she is fine...

..oh yeah she said keep your elbows... i dont like her hair though ....

oh ..BASICALLY SHE SAID KEEP YOUR ELBOWS POINTED OUT SIDEWAYS NOT UP TOWARDS THE CEILING

IS YOU DEAF? dang

H-TOWN

[x1mastershake1x]

abalicious abs

hahahahaha

when she said that i heard it as abolitious abs

"look at these abs! im an ABolitionist!"

[84dholly]

I just started and my personal trainer advised me 15 reps twice during the workout and inbetween those sets do something different like lift weights. I did that and today I am so sore I can barely walk and getting up or sitting down is painful.

[southsidezz]

make sure your breathing....thanks for that almost forgot

[Fakkan]

These work better for me than regular crunches.

[yetsio]

thats because you are working them out from a different and better angle.

[omline]

which is better this or crunches?

[elbowturn]

THIS

H-TOWN

[mrambitious2222]

for beginners 20 to 30 reps !

too hard !

[XxIncompetencexX]

how many times a week should u do this?

[totalbliss777]

her body is so toned wow...I want that kind of body...look at those pipes and abs!! Nice job girl!

[stoopidness]

do we HAVE to have the weight?

[pexpix]

no, not really, i do these with my own body weight.. and im telling ya, they are killer!

=]

[lakers2galaxy1]

I've already lost 16 pounds doing this exercise, the bridge, the side bridges, and another work-out called the "Up, Down, Side, Together."

[Thacomedian64]

shes strong as hell

good directins for bicycle crunch

[SMWhit3out]

eh toned, not strong.

[lakersruleKB24mvp]

u lost 16 pds..how...and for how long

[elbowturn]

probably until you realize that kobe does not rule.

H-town

[TAMZ412]

all ehow expert village videos suck

[thechaps2]

She is hot.

[Alexbeuford]

how do you keep your legs out straight and raised off the ground? Even for 2 seconds this kills my upper legs and totally throws me off.

[HotSauce318]

Go to the gym and work out your legs ;)

[NogaPatumee]

Great vid, thanks :)

[ionuorah]

Experts say this is the best abs workout out there

[zZcorruptionZz]

@ionuorah I think it's a great one, I mean other stuff works if you like it but this is possible the most easiest, fun and great resulting workout.

[iPhoneAppReviewTV]

@ionuorah it is!!!!!

[NiteShayde03]

@ionuorah

How long do you have to do this a day to see any results?

[jamesjiao]

@ionuorah Agreed.. followed closely by the swissball crunch and the captain's chair leg raise I think.

[bboooobbyy]

whoa...this doesnt sound right. If your maintaining pressure on your abs and have proper technique, you probably wont do more than 30 reps. 100...gimme a break.

[wHoIsShark]

fail...

[warpfaber]

BAH! too many reps even for beginners, this work out is more than boring and takes so long, is there any other exercise for abs that don't take much time like this one?

[makpak]

yeah normal sit-ups.

if its boring it means u don really wanna do anything. ur just looking because, well ur startin to get fat.

1st rule of working out, make ur mind up.

"will must be stronger than skill"

[warpfaber]

Well, I just thought there might be other exercises that can be done by less reps and be as effective as this one, sorry

[Linkes8215]

like which exercises?
