The medicine ball V-up is an advanced version of the traditional V-up exercise that targets the external obliques while helping to increase range of motion throughout your hip and lower back region. The additional weight placed upon the upper torso from the medicine ball will result in strength and stability gains throughout the shoulder complex. Be sure to bring torso and lower body up at the same time, as one unit. Do not rush this movement, be sure to stay at controlled and consistent pace. #
