Oblique V-Up on Floor
Lying on one side, lift the straight legs and the upper body toward each other in a side V, the top hand behind the head.
How to do it
Setup
On one side, legs long and stacked, the bottom arm on the floor in front for balance, the top hand behind the head.
Steps
- Lift both legs and the shoulders off the floor at once.
- Squeeze the side of the waist at the top.
- Lower slowly; finish the side, then turn over.
Common mistakes
Rolling onto the back to lift higher: stay stacked on the side. Pulling the head with the hand: the fingers rest; the waist lifts you. Legs parting: keep them together as one lever.
Breathing
Exhale on the lift, inhale lowering.
