Beach Body Workout
Get your abs in hot shape for summer with this easy Snacktivity! You’ll be cycling AND doing crunches at the same time - yowsers!
This is a goodie if you want to work both your lower and upper abs. Here’s how it’s done:
Step 1 - Lie on your back with your right leg bent at about 90º and your left leg straight out in front of you, about three or four inches off the ground. Have your fingers at each side of your head, elbows out.
Tip: Lie on an exercise mat or carpet for this one!
Step 2 - Lift your upper body as though you were doing a crunch, turning it slightly to touch your left elbow to your right knee.
Step 3 - Alternate, touching your right elbow to your left knee etc. Your legs should move in a slow continuous pedalling motion. Make sure you stretch your legs out nice and long when it’s their turn to extend!
Step 4 - Repeat 12-15 times (for each leg). When you’re done, place both feet on the ground, and with both hands on the floor on either side of you, ease yourself into a sitting position.
Take a break and, as your fitness improves, add sets of repetitions - or move onto another workout!
Tip: Lift your body by engaging your core, not by pulling at your neck! Imagining you’re holding something under your chin, like an orange can help keep your head and neck in a good position.
60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity every day is recommended to keep 5-18 year old bodies healthy and fit, while at least 30 minutes of moderate activity every day is recommended for females aged 18+. Why not make our bicycle crunch Snacktivity part of your daily dose?!
