I was wondering if you can add ABS - Crunches, Bicycle. There is currently an ABS - Bicycles, but I use this to describe a different exercise.

Can you describe it, or give a link to an example of it? I want to make sure we're not duplicating something that's already there.

ABS - Crunches, Bicycle is #14 on the following:

Bicycles are simmilar to Hip lifts (#3 on same link) except instead of lifting hips, you make a bicycle pedaling motion.

Thanks!

Do you have a picture of how you do ABS - Bicycles?

Because we also have 'ABS - Bicycles' listed here:

http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/cms/article-detail.asp?articleid=1104 which appears to be the same as #14 in the other article.  Perhaps the 'crunch' designation can be optional as it is by default, part of the overall exercise...that or the nomenclature is just that confusing or there are sooo many variations...

It's a simmilar position to hip lifts, but instead of doing hip lifts, you are doing a pedaling motion. Sorry, no pictures.

It's in.

ABS - Crunches, Bicycle

Yes, after looking online, obviously the 'crunches' bicycle focuses on the crunch part by elbows touching opposite knees in each rep whereas just bicycles is more relaxed and less of a crunch where your elbows don't touch your knees.

Ron-

You're my hero. I've got BT on the list of things to support/subscribe to for once I get some money again (it's hell recovering from cervical surgery).

Thanks for having such a great site.
