V-Up

What it is

Lying flat, you lift the straight legs and the torso at the same time to touch the hands to the feet, forming a V. It works the whole abdominal wall. Lower back down slowly.

Technique tips

• Start flat with arms overhead
• Lift the legs and torso together
• Reach the hands to the feet
• Lower slowly without crashing

How to track your progress

Log reps, and add the extra load if you wear a belt or a vest. Straddly counts your bodyweight in the estimated max, so added weight and extra reps both show up as progress, and new records are flagged during the session.
