V-Up
- 1 - Lie flat on your back on an exercise mat or a comfortable surface. Extend your arms overhead, and keep your legs straight, close together.
- 2 - Take a deep breath, and as you exhale, engage your core muscles by drawing your navel toward your spine. This will help support your lower back during the movement.
- 3 - Simultaneously lift your upper body and legs off the ground while keeping them straight. Imagine your body folding in half. Try to reach your fingertips toward your toes.
- 4 - At the peak of the movement, your body should resemble a “V” shape, with your upper body and legs forming a 45-degree angle to the floor. Hold this position for a moment to feel the contraction in your abdominal muscles.
- 5 - Inhale as you slowly lower your upper body and legs back to the starting position, returning to a flat, extended position on the mat.
- 6 - Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.
