Are you wanting those classic six pack abs? This exercise is going to help you develop the abs you want. Although a six pack is partly what your abdominal make-up is underneath the body fat, you can get toned abs with great exercises such as bicycles along with a healthy nutrition plan.
Bicycles are awesome because they work your entire abdominal area, which is made up of internal and external obliques, rectus abdominus, and transversus abdominus. Exercises like traditional crunches work your rectus abdominus mostly but not much else.
The One-Day Bicycles Challenge
Complete the challenge by following along with us in the Bicycles Exercise – Six Pack Abs Video. Focus on keeping your belly button drawn in and keeping your abs flat/not protruding while performing this exercise. Each rotation and slight lift should come from your abdominals. Control and muscle activation are key. Also, be aware of your hands behind your head. Your hands should just be supporting your head slightly, not pulling you up into the exercise.
The Marathoner: 5 times through the video for 160 reps. Or, complete 10 sets of 16 bicycles.
The Half-Marathoner: 3 times through the video for 96 reps. Or, complete 6 sets of 16 bicycles.
The 5K: 2 times through the video for 64 reps. Or, complete 4 sets of 16 bicycles.
Challenge Complete: 1 time through the video for 32 reps. Or, complete 2 sets of 16 bicycles.

We recommend checking with your physician before making any changes to your exercise routine or diet.
I remember this exercise way back as one of the floor exercise routine usually done. Concerned with belly fats? This is one good way to loose them. Firm abdomen as what we often want to achieve. Bicycle exercise is fun to do, try it.
Once this exercise becomes too easy, try lying flat on your back with your arms and legs stretched and holding a basketball in your hands. Then bring the basketball to your shins while you pull up your legs. Sore stomach muscles guaranteed for at least the remainder of the week!
Apart from these exercises, I’d also like to mention to do Cable Crunches – because it is too easier to perform and gives you result in short span.
Any form of exercising is certainly good for our body. But this particular exercise is very beneficial, atleast for me.
Bicycle exercises would have to be my favourite.
I loved the video!
Thank you for this video abs workout! Check out my Throwback ABS workout from 2012 🙂
Indeed I love riding mountain bikes and I would love to go on adventure. Whenever someone look for reasonable bike then obviously price is the first thing he looks for, whether someone can afford it or not.
Thank you for providing such an informative video. I myself try to workout to keep myself fit and cycling is one of the best exercise I would recommend.
I think things like this are really interesting. I absolutely love to find unique places like this. It really looks super creepy though!!
this was pretty amazing. at least now i can my abs.
