V-Sit

The V-Sit is a core training exercise that targets several sets of abdominal muscles, including the rectus abdominis, which run the length of the front of the abdomen ending at the pubis. But it also engages the external and internal oblique muscles, so users can work the sides of their torso where the love handles often develop. The hip flexors are also used during this exercise, so users get a full core workout with one move, although it is often teamed up with other stomach fat burning exercises.

We should mention that there are two ways to do the V-Sit. They both start in a seated position, either on the floor or a bench. In the first version you lay down with your legs and shoulders elevated, and then rolling or curling up and bringing your knees to your chest at the same time, touching your toes. You then disengage using a controlled reverse motion.

The second version is a bit more involved, and it begins with you contracting your abdominal muscles and lifting your legs up so that they are in a 45 degree angle. At that point your arms should begin reaching out in front of you trying to make their way toward your shins, thereby forming a “V.” It’s very important when doing this exercise to keep your posture on point and your spine strong. At first the V is held for a few seconds, but once you’re used to doing it, and your core strength improves, you can hold it longer. Once it’s time to come down, slowly roll yourself down to the floor, but stop just before you hit the floor, hold this position for a few seconds more to work your abs a little more, and then release.

The V-Sit is a variation on the traditional sit up, but according to trainers, it offers more core training power than the traditional version. It’s often used as part of a full stomach fat workout, and it can be used along with a healthy low cal diet.
