A bicycle crunch is a great no-equipment core strengthening exercise that can be used as part of an ab circuit, or added into a full body workout. They’re great because…

A strong core is essential for every day movement: bicycle crunches help train the muscles in your pelvis, lower back, hips and abdomen to work in harmony, helping you with everything from every day movement to running and even weightlifting.

They target multiple parts of your core: engaging not just the usual abs, but also the deep abs and obliques.

They can be done anywhere: whether you’re training at the gym, in your living room or outside.
