How to do a v-up

The v-up is an isolation exercise which targets the rectus abdominis, hip adductors, and Iliopsoas muscles effectively. It’s a great movement for developing functional core strength and it also helps to build muscle. Now, this is not necessarily a beginner’s exercise as some flexibility is required but anyone can develop the strength through practice to perform it effectively.

All you need is a floor mat and your own body weight to do the v-up and this is a great convenience since you don’t need any gym equipment. So, try to squeeze in more v-ups in your routine for increased core strength and function.

In This Exercise:

  • Target Muscle Group: Rectus Abdominis, Adductors, Iliopsoas
  • Type: Strength
  • Mechanics: Isolation
  • Equipment: Floor Mat
  • Difficulty: Intermediate

Exercise Instructions

  1. Lie on the floor face up and stretch your arms straight over your head.
  2. Then, lift both your arms and legs up at the same time toward each other until they touch. Keep your core tight and exhale.
  3. Hold for 2 seconds.
  4. Now, lower your arms and legs back down until they touch the ground.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of reps.

Variations & Tips:

  • Do your best to bring your arms and legs as close together as possible. You don’t have to be perfect while building core strength.
  • Try to keep your legs straight during the movement.
  • Keep your core tight throughout the exercise.
  • The v-up exercise targets the abs, hip adductors, and Iliopsoas muscles.
