Raising and lowering the upper body in supine position ► v-up

Individual work

Lying on your back, legs stretched out in a high position (legs pointing upwards/approx. 90 degrees at the hips), raise and lower your upper body straight up (pull your arms up towards your feet).

Attention:
Do not lower your upper body completely (constant tension).

Lighten:
Barely lift your upper body; just hold the position (without lifting and lowering your upper body).

Harden:
Hold additional weight in your hands.

Variant:
Legs bent in a high position (lower legs parallel to the floor).
