Challenge of the Day! Cycling Russian Twist!

Challenge of the Day!  Cycling Russian Twist

Let's do 3 sets of 25. A complete rep is left side then right side equals 1.  Try and do this with a minimal rest between sets.  The burn is a good burn!

  • Sitting on the floor, lift your legs so they're off the ground but parallel with the floor.
  • Holding your arms straight out in front of your chest with your palms together.
  • Lean back so your upper body is at a 45-degree angle to the floor.
  • Extend your left leg and twist to the right as you pull your right knee to your chest.
  • Don't let your legs touch the floor! This is the hard part of this challenge!
  • Rotate to the left, raising your left knee and straighten your right leg.

  • This is a great workout for the lower abs!  I love this workout and try to get them in everyday. 












    Have a healthy and happy day!
