| Lower body exercises |
The V-sit exercise builds core strength by working multiple areas of the core at the same time, while also challenging your balance.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Begin in a seated position with hands and feet on the floor.
- :-Contract your abdominal muscles and core slowly and lift your legs up to an extended position at a 45-degree angle with your torso.
- :-Reach your arms straight forward or reach up toward your shins as you are able. It's important to maintain good core posture and a strong spine throughout the movement and to avoid rounding the shoulders forward. Don't hold your breath—continue to breathe deeply during the movement.
- :-Hold this V-shaped position for several seconds to begin. As you get stronger, hold the position longer.
- :-Return to your starting position slowly while continuing to keep your abs engaged and tight.
- :-Just before you reach the floor, stop and hold the position for a few seconds.
Repeat this entire movement several times.

Benefits
- It helps to stabilize, balance, and power the body during just about every other activity. Core strength is the basis for all coordinated and powerful athletic movements.
- A strong core can reduce stress on the joints and allow you to achieve better posture.
- The plank exercise can be used as the basis for a core muscle strength and stability test but engaging a range of muscles does boost your calorie burn a bit.
- Typically, a 150-pound individual will burn about 3 calories a minute holding a plank.
