How to do Seated Bikes

Sit on the floor, lean slightly back with hands behind you for balance. Pedal your legs in a cycling motion, lifting each knee toward the chest while extending the opposite leg.

Common mistakes

Keep your core engaged and avoid rounding the spine. Ensure the cycling motion is smooth without jerking the legs.

Breathing

Exhale as you pull one knee toward your chest; inhale as you extend it out. Continue in a rhythmic manner.
