Short instructions

How to do V-up

Follow the numbered positions in the image and use each instruction as its matching cue.

  1. 1

    Set the starting position

    Lie on the back for V-up, press the lower ribs and pelvis into a controlled position, and extend the legs only as far as the lower back can remain stable.

    Breathing: Breathe steadily; do not hold your breath.

  2. 2

    Perform the effort phase

    Exhale and raise the straight legs and torso together, reaching the hands toward the feet without jerking the neck or rounding from momentum.

    Breathing: Exhale through the effort.

  3. 3

    Control the end position

    Control the strongest abdominal position without holding the breath or allowing the lower back to arch away from support.

    Breathing: Breathe steadily; do not hold your breath.

  4. 4

    Return under control

    Lower the torso and legs, or stop the alternating kicks, under control until the exact supported starting position returns.

    Breathing: Inhale through the controlled return.

Setup and safety note: Use the declared V-up setup, maintain controlled joint alignment, and stop if the movement causes pain.
