Hannah is demonstrating the Swiss Ball V-Up TECHNIQUE: This exercise is a great way to add a level of difficulty to the classic V-Up. The key to this is to make sure that the legs and shoulders are synced during the movement. This will help to keep the core engaged throughout the entirety of the movement. Start with the ball placed between the ankles then, forming a V with the body, lifting the shoulders off the ground pass the ball from the ankles to the hands then lower back down and begin again. Make sure that the arms and legs are staying elevated the entire time. ADVANTAGES: Great adaptation to give the core the extra kick it needs. FAULTS: As shown in the video, maintaining a fluid motion can be very difficult. Shoulders and legs must be synchronized for this movement to be effective. SCALING: This move can be scaled down by taking away the swiss ball and doing a classic V-Up, it can also be more difficult by using a heavier ball.
