Bicycle Recline Walk
Equipment
Lift your head and shoulders off the mat while drawing in your abs towards your spine.
Bend your right knee and bring it up towards your chest while simultaneously twisting your torso to bring your left elbow towards the right knee.
As you extend your right leg back out, bend your left knee and bring it towards your chest, and twist your torso to bring your right elbow towards the left knee.
Keep alternating sides in a 'pedalling' motion, making sure to exhale as you pull your knee towards your chest and inhale as you extend it out.
Pro Tip
Engage Your Core: The key to getting the most out of the Bicycle Recline Walk is to engage your core muscles properly. This isn't just about your abs; you need to engage your entire core, including your lower back and pelvic muscles. Avoid the common mistake of pulling on your neck or using your arms to lift your body up. Controlled Movement: The bicycle movement should be slow and controlled. Many people make the mistake of rushing through the exercise, which can reduce its effectiveness and potentially lead to injury. Your opposite elbow should touch the opposite knee in a twisting motion, but avoid pulling your elbow across your body
