Bicycles (abs)
Bicycles on a hanging bar work endurance and hypertrophy for the abs through a longer range of motion than the floor version, recruiting the obliques as a synergist throughout. Hang from a pull-up bar with your arms fully extended and core braced. Drive one knee up and across toward the opposite side while extending the other leg, then alternate in a smooth pedaling motion, keeping your torso as still as possible.
Reverse Crunches (abs)
Reverse Crunches specifically target the lower abdominals by moving the hips and pelvis instead of the shoulders, filling a gap that standard crunches don't reach as directly. Lie on your back with knees bent and feet off the floor. Curl your hips up and in toward your ribcage using your lower abs, then lower back down with control, stopping before your feet touch the floor to keep tension on the muscle.
Tucked Toe Stretch
Now we are going to tuck the toes so that your soles raise facing directly behind you as your toes curl away from the soles. Lower your weight slowly and gently onto the length, not tips, of your toes. This will stretch the toes and soles. Avoid stretching too hard or releasing too much weight. Gradually, after practicing for a few weeks, gently increase the stretching in the toes and soles. Reduce the stretch at any feeling of strain or pain. Hold this stretch for 1-2 minutes.
