5 Effective Lower Ab Workouts For Men

#3 V-Ups

The V-Up is a very effective abdominal exercise that activates the lower and the upper abdomen without the use of any fancy gym equipment. Moreover, it is even ideal for beginners and casual trainers, thanks to its simple motion.

Instructions:

Step 1: Lie on a flat surface in a supine position with arms fully extended overhead. Ensure that the feet are together and the toes are pointed outwards.

Step 2: Simultaneously lift your legs and arms until the body forms a 'V-shape.' Keep a tight core and bend only using your hips while performing this motion.

Step 3: Hold the contraction for a moment and return to the initial position.

Repeat the exercise the recommended number of repetitions.

Important tip: Perform this exercise while using a weighted vest or an ankle weight for added resistance.
