The Bicycle Ab Twist is, predictably, a combination of the Ab Twist and Bicycle Abs, performed deliberately.

How To Do It
1. Sit on the floor with your knees bent to form a 90-degree angle. Your torso should be at a 45-degree angle with the floor.
2. Hold a small weight in your hands (optional) or clasp your hands in front of your abdomen.
3. Keeping your torso and abs as still and as tight as possible, rotate your hands (or the weight) from side to side.
4. At the same time as #3 above, bring the knee opposite the direction to which you’re twisting up toward your torso, while straightening your other, “twist side” leg. Maintain your 90-degree torso bend.
5. When you twist to the other side, all leg movements reverse.
6. Each time you return to center, that’s one rep.
