V-sit hold (tuck)

  • Duration: 5 min
  • Level: Beginner
  • Goal track: Energy boost

Sit on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat, hands resting on the floor just behind your hips. This is your starting position. Lean back slightly and lift your feet a small distance off the floor, balancing on your sit bones while keeping your back straight rather than rounded. Hold the tucked position for 8 to 10 seconds, breathing steadily, lowering your feet any time your back starts to round. Rest, then repeat 2 to 3 times.
