Try adding v-ups in between, working three exercises into your circuit this time around.
Do them in between other moves: Say you're doing a seated row followed by a chest press.
They'll get your heart rate going, which will get more oxygen and blood to your muscles.
Add them to your core warm up: V-ups are great move to do at the beginning of a workout. It will target your lower abs even more than a regular v-up. This is one of my favorite core exercises. But instead of lifting your legs straight up as you did in the v-up, you're going to straddle them out to the side and upwards, while your arms reach toward the center. Go for straddle v-ups: Again, start by lying face-up on the ground and lifting your legs and arms slightly off of the floor. This will add more work into your obliques, which is always a great variation. Turn them into alternating jackknives: This is basically still a v-up, but lifting up one leg up at time. This will take the pressure out of the hip flexors. But this time as you lift up, bring your knees in toward your chest and make sure to hug your knees at the top of the position (instead of trying to touch your toes like you did in the v-up). Try tuck ups: Start in the same position, lying face-up with your lower back touching the ground and your arms and legs straight, lifted slightly off the floor. Whether you want to modify your v-up after a heavy abs workout or test your core strength even more, here are a few options for you. There are plenty of fun ways to switch up this move. When done properly, you'll start to see some core definition pretty quickly. The move involves some serious upper and lower abs work. You'll be forced to rely on your core strength to get your torso up and close to touching your legs. Remember this move is a bodyweight exercise, meaning that your weight is going to be the resistance you're using. Then as you progress you can do 3 sets of 15 or go for 3 rounds of 45 seconds, doing as many reps as possible in that timeframe. Reps/sets for best results: I would suggest starting off with 3 sets of 12. Another important tip: Make sure its your upper body that's starting the initiation of coming up, rather than your legs. If you don't, you could experience serious discomfort or pain in your lower back. That's one rep.įorm tips: I can't say it enough, but please make sure you start with your abs engaged and your lower back touching the ground, instead of arching your back when you're lying down. In one movement, lift your torso and legs as if you're trying to touch your toes. Lie face-up on the floor with your legs and arms straight and lifted off the floor slightly.
