Instructions
Positioning:
1. Sit on the floor with your legs extended straight in front of you.
2. Lean back slightly while keeping your back straight and core engaged.
3. Lift your legs off the ground, keeping them straight, forming a "V" shape with your body. Your body should look like a "V" with your legs raised and your torso leaning back.
4. Extend your arms straight in front of you or hold them beside you for balance.
Movement:
1. Hold this "V" position, ensuring your back remains straight and your abs are engaged.
2. Keep your legs together and avoid arching your lower back.
3. Hold the position for 15-30 seconds, focusing on maintaining balance.
4. To increase difficulty, try moving your arms further away from your body or lowering your legs slightly while keeping the "V" shape.
Tips for Beginners:
- If this position feels too challenging, you can bend your knees and keep your feet closer to the ground.
- Focus on your breathing; inhale deeply and exhale as you maintain the position.
- Gradually increase the duration of the hold as you become more comfortable with the exercise.
