Standing Single Air Bike

Standing Single Air Bike (Plyometrics)

1. Starting Position:
- Stand up straight with your feet hip-width apart.
- Engage your core by tightening your abdominal muscles.
- Bring your hands behind your head, elbows out to the sides. This position helps keep your back straight during the movement.

2. Movement:
- Lift your right knee toward your chest while simultaneously bringing your left elbow down to meet it. This action mimics a pedaling motion.
- Ensure that your core remains tight throughout the movement for stability.
- Return to the starting position and repeat the movement on the opposite side by lifting your left knee and bringing your right elbow down to meet it.

3. Repetitions:
- Aim for 10-15 repetitions on each side, maintaining a steady and controlled pace.

4. Form Tips:
- Keep your back straight and avoid leaning too far forward or backward.
- Make sure your movements are fluid; don't rush but also don't hold back.
- Focus on engaging your core for balance and support.

5. Breathing:
- Inhale as you return to the starting position and exhale as you bring your knee and elbow together.

6. Progression:
- As you become comfortable with the movement, increase the speed of your repetitions or add a slight hop when bringing your knee up for a more dynamic plyometric effect.
