- Lift your legs off the ground, bending them at the knees to form a 90-degree angle.
- Move your legs in a cycling motion, alternating them in a pedaling action.
- Engage your core to stabilize your torso throughout the exercise.
- Continue the pedaling motion for the desired number of repetitions or time.
