V Sit-Up

Video Dooley Noted: 5/7/2015

In this week’s video segment of Dooley Noted, I discuss an alternative to the standard crunch or sit-up. 
In the V-Sit up, we use anterior abdominal muscles to create the pressure needed to rise from a supine (face-up) position. 
The V-Sit minimizes neck involvement to coach full-body tension and abdominal stability. Try this if the neck attempts to dominate movement. This drill can also improve overhead position, if stability issues prevent the motion. 
Enjoy!
As always, it’s your call.
