Description

The band alternating v-up is a core exercise that targets the abdominal muscles.

Starting Position

Lie on your back with a resistance band around your feet and legs extended. Hold the band securely with both hands.

Technical Execution

Exhale as you perform a v-up by lifting your legs and upper body simultaneously. Alternate sides with each repetition.

Range of Motion

Maintain a full range of motion by lowering your legs and torso back down towards the floor without touching it.

Variations

To increase the difficulty, you can use a heavier resistance band or add a twist at the top of the movement.

Common Mistakes

Practical Advice

Focus on keeping the core tight throughout the movement and use controlled motions to prevent injury.
