Simple Water Bottle Workout

4 of 7

Exercise 3: Bicycle Exercise

Target: The entire abdominal region and hip flexors

Step 1: Lie on your back with your legs elevated and knees bent. Hold a water bottle in both hands over your abdomen. Bring your left knee toward your chest while simultaneously rotating the right side of your upper body and the water bottle toward your left knee. At the same time, fully extend your right leg.

Step 2: Continue this motion, alternating sides for two sets of 10 repetitions. (If this hurts your neck, do not use the water bottle. Instead, place your hands behind your head for support.)

Tip: Make sure you concentrate on keeping the motion fluid. Each time you extend your leg, it counts as a repetition.
