How to do Wide Legged V-Ups
Start lying flat on your back with arms extended above your head and legs spread wide apart. Engage the core, simultaneously lift the upper body and legs, attempting to point your hands through the middle of your spread legs. Return to starting position with control.
Common mistakes
Lifting only the upper or lower body. Not engaging the core sufficiently. Relying on momentum instead of muscle control.

Inhale while lying down, exhale as you lift up.
