V-Up

A core exercise performed from a supine position where you lift your torso and legs simultaneously to form a V shape, then return to the starting position.

Instructions

1. Lie on your back on the floor with your arms extended overhead and your legs straight.
2. In one explosive movement, simultaneously lift your torso and legs by contracting your core.
3. Bring your arms forward and meet your legs at the top, creating a V shape.
4. Return to the starting position with control.
5. Repeat for the prescribed number of repetitions.

Tips

• Use momentum from your core muscles to drive the movement.
• Keep your legs straight throughout to maintain tension in the abdominals.
• Control the descent back to the starting position.
• Exhale as you come up and inhale as you lower down.
• Perform 8-12 reps per set for optimal results.
