Coach's Tips

This move works your abs and obliques to build core and rotational strength.

1. Lie on your back with your knees bent at a 90-degree angle and lift your legs.

2. Lightly place your hands behind your head and slightly lift your shoulders off the ground.

1. Extend one leg straight and pull the opposite knee towards your chest.

2. Twist your upper body so that the opposite elbow faces the knee being pulled.

3. Alternate between your legs and upper body as if pedaling, repeating the motion.

Exhale when you stretch your legs, and inhale when you pull your knees in to maintain the rhythm.

1. Do not pull your neck with your hands; lift your upper body using your abdominal strength.

2. Keep your entire lower back close to the mat to prevent it from lifting.

3. Only rotate to the extent that it does not cause pain.
