V-sit

Execution

  1. Sit down on the floor with your knees bent.
  2. Lean backwards and lift your feet off the ground.
  3. Straighten your arms so your hands are next to your knees.
  4. Your body should now form a V, with your knees bent or straight

Points of attention

  • Keep your chest lifted. It helps to let your palms face upwards. This way it’s easier to keep your shoulder blades together and your chest lifted.
  • Make sure your abdominals are engaged and your back is straight.
