Sometimes they are called V-ups. Lie on yoour back, and bring your legs up and your upper body up to make a V-shape with your body. Then go back down. Now do 100 more. j/k, haha.
What are V-Up? (pike ups)
Probably one of the best CORE exersizes you can do.
No, they aren't easy. Yea they hurt. That's why they work!

Hint: if using stall bars, Start slow. 3 sets of 3 is plenty. Then work to 3 sets of 5, 4 set of 5, 5 set of 5, etc etc.

what they said is a good explanation ^^
lay flat on your back, arms over your head, lift up your upper body and legs (so you are pivoting on your butt
), and reach for your toes, then lower back down and repeat.

in our conditioning, we do conditioning to music and have 1 song for arm conditioning, another for stomachs, backs, arms, and flexibility! and so we have to do like 3 minutes of v-sits, dish-hold, slow v-sits, tucked v-sits, switch leg v-sits, etc. without stopping :|
oh and if we mess around/don't work hard... 100 v-sits! (and im not kidding)

Even worse is when you do a ton and then have to start over because you didn't point your toes while you were doing them. LOL.
