This is great, but I want numbers...how many to do per set, rest periods, and all.

@Lucious25 All explained in the written description AND in the video. It's time based. No rest. 2-3 sets of the entire circuit.

I can do tuck ups easylie but im not even near being able to do a v-up? Help please? :)

[ozfitpro]

@mrcrazymaann V-ups require a lot of core strength and flexibility in the hamstrings. Stretch your hamstrings and keep working on tuck-ups. Rather than tuck the feet into the butt, tuck the knees in at a 90 degree angle ... this will simulate more of a v-up. Next step is to work on getting those legs straighter :)
