The medicine ball alternating v-up is a core-strengthening exercise that targets the entire core region, emphasizing the lower abs and hips. The exercise also improves hand-eye coordination and lower-back stability.
Instructions
Lie on the floor face-up with your legs straight and feet together. Hold a medicine ball with both hands over your head.
Simultaneously lift your legs and torso off of the floor, bringing your arms forward until the ball touches your ankles. Reverse the movement to return to the starting position.
Trainer’s Tips
Do not round your lower back at the bottom of the movement.
Squeeze your abs tight at the top of the movement.
