A challenging balance exercise that combines rolling with an open leg V position. Tests core control and balance.

1 min
Inhale to roll back, exhale to roll up

1Setup

Sit tall on mat. Hold ankles or calves, extend legs to V position (shoulder-width apart). Balance on tailbone behind sit bones. Round lower back slightly.

2Execution

1. Maintain V shape with legs. 2. Inhale, roll back to shoulders. 3. Keep V shape throughout - legs don't move. 4. Exhale, roll up to balance. 5. Hold balance at top before next rep. 6. Never roll onto neck. 7. Repeat 6-8 times.

Tips for Better Form

  • Keep legs straight if possible
  • Use abs to roll, not momentum
  • Keep distance between legs consistent
  • Look at belly, not ceiling
