Ab Exercise Question

Papish Posts: 13 Joined: 2004/02/07	2004/02/11, 10:31 AM I have 2 questions regarding Ab exercises. I've read about how the ab bicycle exercise is one of the best exercises there is but I don't see a description of how to do it listed in the ft exercise resources. Is it listed under another name? If not can someone explain to me how to perform the exercise. Second, how can add I weight to my crunches? They are starting to get easier and I'd like to add some resistance. Thanks in advance.

Also look up cable crunches in the fitness resources. There are also incline crunches. -------------- Some times life is like herding cats. Charlie

Place your hands behind your head. Crunch up and twist your torso to touch your right elbow to your left knee. Alternate from side to side in a smooth, continuous motion, making sure you keep the movement slow and controlled. Right / Left equals one rep. Don't point your toes towards the ceiling. Keep your toes pointing parallel to the floor for best results. Good luck. -------------- \"I get up in the morning around six to run for about an hour. Later in the day, I lift with a partner.
