Weekly challenges#26
•Warm up with 5-10 minutes of light cardio
•You can do this workout as a circuit, going through each exercise and performing each one after the other for 30 seconds to 1 minute, repeating the circuit as many times as you like.
•You can also do this as a traditional workout, doing 2-3 sets of 12-16 repetitions and rest 30 seconds-1 minute between sets.
•Always check with your doctor if you have any injuries or conditions.

#1. The Bicycle
1.Lie face up on the floor and lace your fingers behind your head.
2. Bring the knees in towards the chest and lift the shoulder blades off the ground without pulling on the neck.
