Single-Leg V-Ups

"Visible abs are made in the kitchen," Latoya Julce, NCSF- and ACE-certified personal trainer and instructor at 305 Fitness, told us. "But, when you add single-leg V-ups, the workout will successfully harden and transform your abdominals. With single-leg V-ups, you have no choice but to engage all aspects of your core to achieve perfect form."

  • Start lying on your back with your arms reaching toward the ceiling.
  • Exhale and roll up while lifting your left leg up. Pause at the top and reach for your toes before rolling slowly back down to the mat. Then perform on the other side. This completes two reps.
  • Latoya says to complete 60 reps (30 reps per side). We suggest breaking them up into two or three sets.
  • For more intensity, Latoya says to add a twist.
