bicycle crunches
Core floor workout
Bicycle crunches are an abdominal exercise performed lying on your back, alternating elbow-to-opposite-knee touches while extending the other leg—the motion resembles pedaling a bicycle.
The twisting engages the obliques as well as the rectus abdominis: I do three sets of bicycle crunches every morning.
