Finishing It. Bicycle Crunches (1-2 minutes, rapid speed, 2-3 sets) I find this exercise is tough to do when you start off your workout, but when you are finishing up, especially after some decent resistance work, and your abs are relatively beaten up, it allows you to push to a new level of muscular fatigue. The more you push to fatigue, the more results you get. Because this exercise is so dynamic, and you are already warmed up, and hopefully at this point pretty fatigued, aberrances in form are a little more forgiving. Start at 30 seconds, with the goal of one twist each second, and move on to 60-120 seconds. Trust me, it BURNS. There you go - a pretty simple, easy to

do exercise set, that you can do at home, that will challenge a beginner to an advanced user. All of these moves are basic, but can evolve with you as you progress, with minimal, easy adjustments. Remember, no matter how toned and strong your abs are, they won’t show if your body fat isn’t low enough. Stick to a routine that is easily and reliably implemented into your daily routine, keep it lean, ensure your caloric intake is on point, and you will be beach body ready for summer in no time!
