Core-Strengthening Exercise: V-Up

"This exercise is simple to do for those looking to strengthen their core" without putting a strain on your back, said Villarson. "Toe touches work your entire rectus abdominis, core muscles from your pubic bone and ending at the sternum."

  • Lie face up with arms and legs extended and resting on the floor.
  • Keep abs tight and lift hands and feet to meet over torso.
  • Lower your arms and legs toward the floor.
  • This counts as one rep.
  • To modify this move, bend your knees.
