Exercise Profile

Bicycle Seated Overview

The Bicycle seated workout is a highly effective exercise that primarily engages the abdominal muscles.

By using bodyweight, this workout targets the abs, helping to strengthen and tone the core.

While other muscles such as the hip flexors and quads are involved, the focus remains on the abs.

With consistent practice, the Bicycle seated workout can help achieve a stronger and more defined midsection.

Bicycle Seated Instructions

  1. Start by sitting on a flat surface with your back straight and your feet flat on the ground.
  2. Place your hands on your hips or hold onto the sides of the seat for support.
  3. Lift your right foot off the ground and extend your leg straight out in front of you.
  4. Bend your right knee and bring it towards your chest, simulating a cycling motion.
  5. While keeping your right foot off the ground, extend your left leg straight out in front of you.
  6. Continue alternating between bending and extending your legs, as if you are pedaling a bicycle.
  7. Repeat the cycling motion for the desired number of repetitions or duration.

Bicycle Seated Tips

  1. Position yourself correctly on the bicycle seat: Sit upright with your back straight, shoulders relaxed, and feet secured in the pedals. This will ensure proper alignment and engagement of your core muscles, especially your abs.
  2. Focus on your breathing: Take deep breaths in and out as you pedal, allowing your breath to flow naturally and rhythmically. This will not only provide oxygen to your muscles but also help you maintain focus and stamina during the exercise.
  3. Engage your abs throughout the exercise: Imagine pulling your belly button towards your spine as you pedal. This will activate your abdominal muscles, helping to stabilize your body and improve your form. Remember to maintain this engagement without holding your breath.
  4. Vary your intensity and resistance: Gradually increase the resistance on your bicycle seat to challenge your abs and other muscles. Alternate between faster pedaling for cardio benefits and slower, controlled pedaling for targeted ab engagement. This variation will keep your workout interesting and effective.
  5. Stay consistent and track your progress: Set realistic goals for yourself and track your progress over time. Celebrate small victories and milestones along the way, as this will keep you motivated and encourage you to continue improving your form and fitness level.
