How to: Weighted V Crunch (on bosu ball)

  1. Sit on the bosu ball with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor.
  2. Hold a weight in both hands at chest height.
  3. Lean back slightly while keeping your back straight.
  4. Raise your feet off the ground and bring your knees toward your chest.
  5. Simultaneously lift your upper body, bringing the weight towards your legs.
  6. Pause briefly at the top, then lower back to the starting position and repeat.

Common Mistakes

  • Pulling on the neck while lifting.
  • Rounding the back instead of keeping it neutral.
  • Using momentum rather than engaging the core.

Modifications

  • Perform without weights to focus on form.
  • Use a standard exercise mat instead of a bosu ball if balance is an issue.

Tips

  • Maintain a stable core throughout the exercise.
  • Focus on controlled movements to prevent injury.
  • Don't rush the repetitions; form over speed.
