How to: At this point, the V stands for Victory. You’re making really good progress to have come this far. Keep up the good work. Lie flat on the floor with your arms extended overhead, then bend at the waist, simultaneously raising your arms and your legs. Touch your toes, making a V with your body, then lower back to the prone position.

Safety hint: Perform this exercise slowly in order to prevent a jerky motion that could injure your back. You’ll notice that a slow motion will also provide additional control.
