v-ups

The V-Ups variant starts with the individual in a supine position with arms straight out on the ground and parallel to the body.

Chambers recommends 20 to 50 reps of each of the following gut busters: hanging leg raises, V-ups, bicycles, planks, push-ups, and side oblique crunches.

The DVD, directed by aerobics legend Gin Miller, includes about 20 exercises, including side-lying leg lifts, double leg pulls, bridges, V-ups, arm curls and overhead presses.
