What is a V-Up and How to do It?

Lie on your back with your legs straight and your arms at your sides.
Slowly raise your legs and torso off the ground, keeping your legs together and reaching your hands toward your feet.
Reverse the motion to return to the starting position.
That's one rep. Start with sets of 10 reps and work up to sets of 20 or more.

The V-up is a classic exercise that adds the needed challenge to your workout routine if you want to tone your midsection. The best part about this exercise is that it can be easily performed at home as it requires nothing more than your body weight and an optional yoga mat.
