V Sit Toe Tap

The V Sit Toe Tap is an effective core exercise that targets your abdominal muscles while improving balance and coordination.

  1. Sit on the floor with your legs extended in front of you, forming a V shape with your body.
  2. Lift your legs off the ground and maintain the V position.
  3. Reach your hands towards your toes, tapping them lightly.
  4. Return to the starting position and repeat.

How to perform the V Sit Toe Tap

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the V Sit Toe Tap using your body weight.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your abdominals.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your abdominals rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
