V-up

How to do it

  1. Lie flat on the back with the arms extended overhead and the legs straight together.
  2. Brace the core and simultaneously lift the torso and legs, reaching the hands toward the toes.
  3. Aim to form a V shape at the top with the body balanced on the glutes.
  4. Keep the knees locked and let the movement be driven by the abdominals rather than momentum.
  5. Lower the torso and legs back to the floor together with control to complete one repetition.
  6. Keep the lower back from slapping the floor by controlling the final inches of the descent.
