Instructions

  1. Starting Position:

    • Sit on the floor with your legs extended in front of you.

    • Lean back slightly, keeping your back straight.

    • Place your hands on the floor beside your hips for support.

  2. Engage Your Core:

    • Tighten your abdominal muscles. This will help stabilize your body during the exercise.

  3. Raise Your Legs:

    • Lift your legs off the floor while keeping them straight.

    • At the same time, tilt your torso back so that your body forms a 'V' shape.

    • Keep your legs together and pointed, and your feet flexed.

  4. Hold the Position:

    • Hold this 'V' position for a few seconds, focusing on engaging and controlling your core.

    • Avoid rounding your back; keep it straight and aligned.

  5. Lower Your Legs:

    • Slowly lower your legs back to the floor while maintaining your upright position.

    • Make sure to keep your core engaged even as you return to the starting position.

  6. Repeat:

    • Perform 10-15 repetitions, resting as needed between sets.

Tips:

  • Make sure to breathe steadily throughout the exercise.

  • If you find this too challenging, you can bend your knees while lifting your legs.

  • Focus on controlled movements to maximize the effectiveness of the exercise.
