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!
