Instructions
1. Start by lying flat on your back on an exercise mat with your legs and arms extended. Hold a dumbbell with both hands above your chest, keeping your arms straight.
2. Engage your core and lift your legs and upper body off the ground simultaneously, trying to bring the dumbbell towards your toes, forming a "V" shape with your body.
3. Squeeze your abdominal muscles as you reach for your toes, with the dumbbell held directly above you, still keeping your arms and legs straight.
4. Pause briefly at the top of the movement.
5. Slowly lower yourself back down to the starting position with control, without letting your feet or shoulder blades touch the ground between repetitions.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets, ensuring that you maintain good form throughout the exercise.
Note: This exercise requires good core strength and balance. It is recommended to start with lighter weights to perfect the technique before progressing to heavier dumbbells.
