    The Hanging V exercise teaches you how to feel out inner from outer ab being hit. Its a transitional exercise because from rest pulling up you are hitting outer ab (rectus) and as you start spreading your legs for the V you are moving into hitting your inner ab (transversus). Over time you just build up to know where you're hitting and being able to tell which one you are contracting. Some people don't feel one over the other at first but when you do something enough you become use to the feeling and know if you're doing it the correct way. Its actually kind of a weird exercise but it works.
