MIM: Bicycle

Weather got you holed up in your house?  Can’t walk the dog?  No worries.  We have a great core exercise for you to do.  The Bicycle will hit all of the core muscles and may even get your heart rate up a little.

  • bicycleLay supine on floor (facing up)
  • Bring your hands behind your head but don’t yank on your neck
  • Raise your shoulders up off of the ground, try to keep your shoulder blades up, not just your neck
  • Raise your feet and bend your knees
  • Bring your left shoulder/ elbow to your right knee and then alternate.
  • If it hurts your back, keep your legs higher off of the ground until you get stronger
  • FOCUS on keeping your tummy muscles tight and BREATH

 

While you are doing it, you can work on your dogs MENTAL workout by putting Fido in a down stay.  This makes him THINK!!  After your exercise is done, throw the toy for Fido to go play fetch! When he comes back, time to do another 20 crunches.
