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.


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?
