Resistance Band Air Bike
The bicycle crunch with a band looped around both feet: each leg that pushes out stretches the band, so the pedaling works against it.
How to do it
Setup
On your back, a band looped around both feet, legs raised, hands behind the head, shoulders off the floor.
Steps
- Draw one knee in as the other leg pushes out long against the band.
- Turn the opposite elbow toward the bent knee.
- Switch legs and turn to the other side.
Common mistakes
Band slipping off the feet: set it around the middle of the feet. Extended leg dropping to the floor: keep it just above. Turning only the elbow: the shoulder lifts and turns.
Breathing
Exhale on each twist, inhale returning.
