The Top 5 Oblique Exercises To Get Ripped Up Abs, V2
Exercise 4 - Bicycle Crunches
Lie flat on the floor with your body fully extended. Raise your legs into tabletop position and place your hands firmly behind your head — this is starting position.
Tighten your core, contract your obliques, and powerfully draw your left knee in while crunching your right elbow across; hold this contraction for .5 seconds. As you’re crunching (it’s a twisted crunch movement), simultaneously kick your right leg out straight as far as possible.
Repeat for the left arm/right knee and continue to alternate sides for 45+ seconds.
