Oblique V-up on Floor
Target Muscle
Secondary Muscles
Equipment
Keep your right arm extended on the floor for balance.
Engage your abdominal muscles and lift your legs and upper body simultaneously, bringing your left elbow towards your feet in a crunching motion.
Lower your body back down to the starting position in a controlled manner.
Repeat this movement for your desired number of repetitions, then switch sides and perform the same steps while lying on your left side.
Pro Tip
Controlled Movement: When lifting your legs and upper body, ensure that the movement is controlled and steady. This is not a speed exercise, but rather about engaging your obliques. Rushing through the movements can lead to poor form and reduced effectiveness. Proper Alignment: As you perform the V-up, it's important to keep your legs and upper body in alignment. Avoid twisting your body or bending your knees, as this can put unnecessary strain on your back and reduce the focus on your obliques. Engage Your Core: Make sure to fully engage your core muscles throughout the exercise. This means pulling your belly button towards your spine and keeping your abs tight
