Oblique V-up

How to do it

1. Lie on one side with the legs stacked and the bottom arm resting on the floor for balance.
2. Extend the top arm alongside the ear and keep the legs straight and together.
3. Brace the obliques and simultaneously lift the top leg and the torso to bring the hand toward the foot.
4. Squeeze briefly at the top of the movement where the hand and foot meet above the hip.
5. Lower both the torso and the leg back to the floor with control to complete one repetition on that side.
6. Keep the hips stacked throughout so the oblique, not the hip flexor, drives the lifting motion.
