Air Bike Crunches 1. Start by lying on your back with your hands behind your back and thighs bent 90 degrees at your hip. 2. Simultaneously curl your right shoulder and left knee up towards the center of your body until your elbow and knee touch. Return to the starting position and repeat with the other side. 3. Continuously repeat this pattern for the prescribed repetitions.
Ab circuit workout tip: Be sure to squeeze the abs and bring those shoulder blades off the floor. If you are doing the movement correctly your elbow should be touching the opposite knee or be very close to it. If your body is squirming around a lot you are not using your abs to do the movement!!
