An advanced core exercise that targets the abdominal muscles through a dynamic V-shaped movement pattern requiring strength and coordination.
Lie on your back with arms extended overhead and legs straight. Simultaneously lift your upper body and legs off the ground, reaching your hands toward your feet to form a V shape. Lower back to the starting position with control and repeat.
Begin lying on your back with arms extended overhead and legs straight, core engaged and ready for the movement.
Return to the starting position with arms and legs extended, maintaining control throughout the movement.
Lift both upper body and legs simultaneously, reach hands toward feet, maintain core engagement, control the movement
Using momentum instead of core strength, not lifting both upper body and legs together, rushing the movement, arching the lower back
Add weight to hands or ankles, perform with medicine ball, increase repetitions, or add resistance bands.
Perform partial V-ups, bend knees, or start with crunches to build core strength first.
Stop if you experience pain in the lower back or neck. Maintain proper form to avoid strain. This exercise requires good core strength and coordination.
