Muscles Worked

The bicycle is a great way to work your abs because it produces the most body rotation and muscle activity in the abdominal region, according to 
Livestrong.com. It exercises all the areas of your abs, including the transverse abdominus, obliques and rectus abdominis. 

Getting Started

Start off by lying on your back on the floor. Raise your knees above your body so they're directly over your hips. Extend your lower legs at a 90 degree angle from the knees. 

Place your hands underneath your head to help hold it up. Keep your face forward and your chin up.  

Perform the Exercise

Now that you're on your back in the starting position, you can do some bicycles for your abs.

* Begin on your back with your legs raised at 90 degree angles from your hips. 
* Bring your right knee across your body towards your left elbow while engaging your core to turn your torso toward the leg. 
* At the same time, push your left leg straight out in front of you. 
* Now alternate legs by pushing the right leg straight and bringing the left leg up to your right elbow. 
* Continue alternating legs for a full workout.

Please be aware that not all exercises are for everyone and this or any other exercise program may result in injury. To reduce your risk of injury, consult your doctor before beginning any exercise program. Mahalo's experts offer advice that is in no way intended as a substitute for medical counseling.
