Bicycle Crunch

Last year, a study that came out of the San Diego State University compared 13 familiar abdominal exercises in order to find which ones really strengthened the abs. This exercise topped the list.

Do It:
1. Lie on the floor with your lower back pressed to the ground.
2. Put your hands behind your head and bring the knees into the chest.
3. Straighten the right leg while simultaneously twisting the body, bringing the right elbow towards the left knee.
4. Repeat on the other side, alternating the legs in a cycling motion.
