How to do V Sit-up

Instructions

Lay down on your back with your arms reaching out over your head and your legs stretched out on the floor. We also recommend having some padding like an exercise mat between your hips and the floor.

Using your abs, hip-flexors and quads, start the movement by simultaneously lift your legs and upper body up from the floor, hinging at the hips, to make a V-shape with your side profile. As you lift your upper body, bring your arms from over your head through to touch the floor by your hips when you get to the top of your V position. Sit up as tall as you can to avoid rounding through your back whilst doing this exercise.

From the top of the V position, lower your legs and upper body back to the floor at the same time as taking your arms back over your head to return to the start position.
