V-Up Down

V-Up Down Exercise Instructions

Positioning

1. Starting Position:

   • Begin by lying flat on your back on a mat or the floor.

   • Hold the exercise ball above your head with both hands, arms fully extended.

2. Body Position:

   • Your legs should be straight and together, resting on the floor.

   • Engage your core muscles to stabilize your body.

Movement

1. The V-Up:

   • Simultaneously lift your legs off the ground and bring your torso up, keeping your arms extended with the ball overhead.

   • Aim to form a "V" shape with your body as you lift; your legs should reach a 45-degree angle relative to the floor, and your torso should be lifted off the ground.

2. The Down Position:

   • Slowly lower your legs back to the starting position while also lowering your torso back to the mat.

   • Maintain control of the movement to avoid any jerky motions.

3. Key Points:

   • Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise.

   • Breathe out as you lift into the "V" position and breathe in as you lower your body back down.

   • Perform the movement in a slow and controlled manner to maximize effectiveness and reduce the risk of injury.

Repetitions

• Aim for 10-15 repetitions, resting as necessary. Adjust the number based on your fitness level.
