Dumbbell V-up

Expert Advice

Control the movement both on the way up and down to prevent using momentum instead of muscle strength.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Lie flat on your back with your legs straight and arms extended holding a dumbbell above your head.
  2. Engage your core and lift your legs and arms simultaneously towards each other, keeping both straight.
  3. Try to touch the dumbbell to your toes at the top of the movement.
  4. Slowly lower your arms and legs back to the starting position without letting them touch the floor.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
