The regulation of angular momentum is one of the key processes for our understanding of stellar evolution. In contrast to solar-mass stars, very low mass (VLM) objects and brown dwarfs are believed to be fully convective. This may lead to major differences of rotation and activity, since fully convective objects may not host a solar-type dynamo. Here, we report on our observational efforts to understand the rotational evolution of VLM objects.
