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.
