Equipment
No equipment needed — bodyweight only.
How to do it
- Lie on your back on a mat, hands beside your head, shoulders slightly off the floor.
- Lift your legs so your knees are bent and shins are level with the floor.
- Straighten one leg while twisting to bring the opposite elbow toward the bent knee.
- Switch sides back and forth like pedalling a bicycle.
Beginner tip: Go slowly and twist your body, not just your elbows.
