00:13Now, we're going to do a move, that classic move that we've seen a lot.
00:15We're just going to do the bicycle.
00:16Okay.
00:17Right?
00:18Now, you just want to make sure your abs are always pulled up.
00:20You get a good twist and your core is nice and tight, okay?
00:23Okay.
00:24With these, you're going to want to do about 20, okay?
00:2620 in total.
00:27Yes, total.
00:28Okay.
00:29Now, you can't have a bicycle without a pump, right?
00:31Right, right.
00:32Okay.
00:33It's going to put the pump in and this extra little twist that pump she puts in there is
00:36going to increase the intensity in the abs and make it get nice and tight.
00:40You feel that?
00:41Oh, wow.
00:42I totally feel it.

00:50Okay.
00:51Now, you're going to take the feet right up, hands behind the head, okay?
00:53All you're going to do is touch the toes, keeping your abs pulled in.
00:56Now, if this is too hard for you or strenuous on your neck, keep your hands here and then
01:01just come up, okay?
01:02The advanced move is going to be touch, center, side, side.
