Dumbbell Loaded V-Cycle
Level up your core training with this weighted twist on the bicycle crunch. It builds explosive oblique power and deep abdominal stability using controlled dumbbell resistance.
Instructions
Setup
Sit on a yoga mat with your legs extended and feet slightly lifted off the ground.
Lean your torso back at a 45-degree angle, maintaining a straight spine and engaging your core.
Hold a single dumbbell with both hands extended toward your shins.
Movement
As you pull the dumbbell toward your body, draw one knee toward your chest while extending the opposite leg.
Simultaneously twist your torso slightly as you bring the weight toward the outside of the bent knee.
Return to the starting position with legs extended, then repeat on the opposite side.
Maintain a steady, controlled rhythm, focusing on keeping your lower back stable and your core tight throughout the entire movement.
