Band Alternating V-Up

AbdominalsBandIntermediate
Lie flat on your back with your legs extended. Place a resistance band around your feet. Raise one leg off the ground while simultaneously lifting your upper body off the ground and reaching your hands towards the raised leg. Lower both your leg and upper body back down to the starting position. Repeat with the opposite leg. Alternate between legs for the desired number of repetitions.

How to perform the Band Alternating V-Up

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Band Alternating V-Up using your band.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your abdominals.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your abdominals rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.

Detailed cues, common mistakes, and demonstration video are available in the Fitly app.
