Only have time for 1 abdominal move?
Choose bicycle crunches. According to a San Diego State University study, bicycle crunches are the most effective abs exercise around, generating tons of muscle activity in the obliques, transverse abdominis, and rectus abdominis. Pedal Away!
Lay on your back, your head and your arms should move as one unit as you twist to each side while your legs "pedal" back and forth. Hips should maintain contact with the floor.
