If you’ve ever tried V-snaps (sometimes called V-ups), you know how challenging it is to execute one. Just one. In this core exercise, you start flat on your back and raise your arms and legs to meet in the middle and touch your toes. It’s not just about strength; speed and balance also play a role. Alethea Boon tackled three variations of V-snaps in her workout and not only made them look easy, but she did them for speed.

No. This video hasn’t been sped up.

Boring video of bread? and butter stuff.? 3×30 V-snaps. Set 1: Controlled keep feet off floor Set 2: Speed it up keep feet off floor Set 3: For speed feet can touch floor. Always a fan of slow controlled movements before speeding it up and adding variations. Gold! Hope you enjoy a bit of tempo play with your gymnastics skills. #coreworkout #accessories #bodyweightmovement #gymnasty #crossfit #thebasics #buildingfoundations

Boon clearly likes to keep things interesting. It wasn’t long ago she did these hollow body chin levers and made them look absolutely effortless. Have you tried these?
