Bicycle Kicks Pilates Exercise
The Bicycle Kicks Pilates exercise focuses on your core and legs. Do Bicycle Kicks as part of an intermediate or advanced Pilates routine. Bicycle Kicks stretch and tone the edges of your leg and ab muscles. This gives you a leaner, taller physique. This exercise targets the hip joint, strengthening your hip abductor. Bicycle Kicks especially work the:
- Hamstrings
- Quads
- Abs
- Obliques
Pilates focus on your abs and spine. It is all grounded in the idea that how you position your abs, legs and shoulders affects the curvature of your spine. All the leg work you do, is associated with proper spine alignment and focus on your core holding your body in place. It is best to start by taking classes where an instructor can help you with your technique.
