V-Sit

A static core hold balancing on the sit bones with the legs and torso lifted into a V, challenging the abdominals and hip flexors.

How to do it

1. Sit on the floor with your legs extended in front of you.
2. Lean back slightly and lift your legs off the floor.
3. Reach your arms forward so your body forms a V shape.
4. Balance on your sit bones with core tight.
5. Hold the position while breathing steadily.
6. Lower your legs and torso to exit.

Tips

• Keep your chest lifted and spine long rather than rounding the back.
• Bend the knees if you cannot hold straight legs yet.
