The v-sit is an effective abdominal and core exercise that works the rectus abdominis, the external obliques and internal obliques. This exercise also engages the hip flexors.

How to Do It

* Begin in a seated position, contract your abdominal muscles and core, and lift your legs up to a 45-degree angle.
* Reach your arms straight forward or reach up toward your shins as you are able.
* Maintain good core posture and a strong spine.
* Hold this “V” position for several seconds to begin. As you get stronger, hold the position longer.
* Return to your starting position slowly.
* Just before you reach the floor, stop and hold the position for a few seconds.
* Repeat this entire movement several times.
