STRENGTH TRAINING - Stong Abs by Just Sitting

Squeeze in a few V-sits while you are sitting around during the day. You can do this exercise in an office chair, on the bed (sit forward on the edge of chair/bed), on a curb, on a stair or on the floor.

Sit up tall on your sits bones, keeping a long spine. Recline upper body back slightly and bring feet up off the ground so that the lower body and upper body make the shape of a "V". You can keep the hands behind the thighs or you can reach them out in front of you. Be sure to keep the belly tight, you do not want the belly button to scoop out toward the spine. Hold for 10 seconds. Each time you do the exercise see if you can add on 5 seconds to your total hold time. Try 3 V-sit holds per day this week.
