Bicycle Exercise

The most effective ab exercises start with the bicycle, which is the best move for targeting the rectus abdominis (the 'six pack') and the obliques (the waist), according to the study.




Direction
Lie flat on the floor with your lower back pressed to the ground. Put your hands beside your head. Bring knees up to about 45- degree angle and slowly go through a bicycle pedal motion. Touch your left elbow to your right knee, then your right elbow to your left knee. Keep even, relaxed breathing throughout.

  1. Lie on the floor and lace your fingers behind your head.
  2. Bring the knees in towards the chest and lift the shoulder blades off the floor without pulling on the neck.
  3. Straighten the left leg out while simultaneously turning the upper body to the right, taking the left elbow towards the right knee.
  4. Switch sides, bringing the right elbow towards the left knee.
  5. Continue alternating sides in a 'pedaling' motion for 1-3 sets of 12-16 reps.

The Gunman Workout - Sean Penn Transformation

He might be 54, but his newly muscular torso in The Gunman movie is unbelievable. Penn plays sniper Jim Terrier, a mercenary assassin forced into hiding when the target sights are honed on him by a Congo hit squad. To convincingly portray a trained killer, Penn used a combination of compound, functional weight training moves to pack on lean muscle without compromising agility, and armed himself with the lethal hand-to-hand combat skills of krav maga. Below, fitness expert Niko Algieri has devised the workout that would get you into Jim Terrier’s enviable shape. The Gunman workout ‘The first thing that’s evident in the film is Penn’s perfectly proportioned and balanced physique,’ says Algieri. ‘But it isn’t all for show. He’s mobile as well as powerful.
