V-ups
Description
V-ups are a great exercise because they hit the entire rectus abdominus (six pack muscle) that extends from your pelvic region to your sternum.
Overall, this is a more advanced exercise that you should NOT attempt if you have any lower back issues, or experience any low back pain as you complete the exercise.
V-ups: 3 Variations
- Easy – Feet touch the ground each rep
- Medium – Feet are off the ground the entire time
- Hard – Hold a dumbbell in between your legs to make this exercise MUCH harder
Why I Love This Move!
This is a challenging core move that hits the upper and lower abs (the hardest to hit), It improves core strength which will help to protect the back.
Why/When I Use This Move
Instead of doing moves that only hit the upper abs (crunches)m I love working the whole core so this is a staple move in my ab training. 3 sets of as many as possible (AMAP) with a 2 second hold in the “up” position super-setted with planks is one of my favourite combos!
Give This a Try!
V-Up = 3 X AMAP, plank 3 X 60 sec., 30-45 sec. rest
