CORE: "V-Up Crunch"
Directions: Perform
Dynamic Warm-Up
exercises at “beginning” of workout
for maximum benefit and improvement.
Pick a safe level; never be unsafe or exceed your capacity to “control” your
body!

-
Start in supine position with arms reached overhead and legs
together.
-
Lift arms straight up and lift legs straight up as you reach
for legs.
-
Continue up until you crunch into a 'V' shape with your torso
and legs (better than me I hope!)
Tips: These are killers! They are very
difficult. I still cannot quite get into the perfect 'V' shape, but I do
my best to imitate the master of 'V-Ups"
Jack LaLanne! Jack has made them
famous, and it's one of his trademarks. For the "perfect" form see Jack below.

Jack makes it look easy--he's even smiling at age 92!
*Note:
This exercise is intended for "normal healthy"
individuals. If you have an injury, or abnormal pain is present,
see your physician or a certified physical
therapist before continuing your exercises.
