Prerequisites

The V-sit represents the pinnacle of core compression strength, elevating the legs from the L-sit position toward vertical while maintaining balance on the hands. This advanced skill demands not only exceptional strength but also significant hip flexibility and the ability to actively compress the body into extreme positions.

Beyond Movement's systematic approach to V-sit development emphasizes the integration of strength and flexibility training. The skill requires patience and consistent work, with each degree of leg elevation representing weeks or months of dedicated practice. The payoff extends far beyond aesthetics—the extreme core strength and body control developed through V-sit training enhances performance across all athletic endeavours.

The V-sit serves as a benchmark for serious calisthenics practitioners, demonstrating mastery of fundamental concepts while opening doors to even more advanced movements. The active flexibility and compression strength developed prove particularly valuable for martial artists, gymnasts, and anyone seeking elite-level core control.
