Lie down on your back with your hands behind your head and your knees bent at a 90-degree angle, with your feet lifted off the floor.
How to Exercise
Begin by bringing your left elbow towards your right knee while straightening your left leg, as if you are riding a bicycle. Then switch, bringing your right elbow towards your left knee while straightening your right leg. Continue alternating in a controlled and rhythmic manner.
Breath Control
Exhale as you crunch and twist your torso. Inhale as you return to the starting position.
Common errors
Common errors include pulling on the head or neck, using momentum to swing the legs or torso, and not engaging the core muscles effectively. It is important to maintain proper form throughout the exercise.

Comments and tips
Focus on keeping your lower back pressed into the floor to engage your core muscles effectively. Avoid pulling on your head or neck with your hands, as this can strain your neck muscles. Keep the movement controlled and avoid swinging your legs or torso.
Cautions
If you experience any discomfort or pain in your neck, back, or hips, stop the exercise immediately and consult with a fitness professional. It is important to listen to your body and modify the exercise as needed.
