Air Bike
The Air Bike, or Bicycle Crunch, is a dynamic core exercise that combines a crunch with a contralateral leg motion. It primarily strengthens the abdominal muscles and obliques through rotation, while also challenging coordination and endurance. It's an effective bodyweight movement for building core stability.
Alternate Heel Touchers
Alternate Heel Touchers are a beginner-level core exercise performed lying on the floor. It involves a controlled, oblique-focused crunch to alternately touch each heel, effectively targeting the abdominal muscles with minimal equipment.
Cable Russian Twists
The Cable Russian Twist is a dynamic core exercise that targets rotational strength and stability. Performed with a cable machine and stability ball, it challenges the obliques and deep core muscles through a resisted rotation, mimicking sports and daily life movements that require anti-rotation and power transfer.
Cross-Body Crunch
The Cross-Body Crunch is a dynamic core exercise that combines a crunch with a torso rotation. It primarily targets the abdominal muscles and obliques, enhancing core strength and stability through a cross-body patterning movement.
Pallof Press
Anti-rotation core activation. Teaches the core to resist rotational forces — exactly what it does during heavy compound lifts.
