Hey!
Last month (L-Sit month) gave me motivation to share my knowledge as a gymnastics coach about the L-sit
So I am making this post
The L-sit is an awesome exercise to incorporate in your woekouts
It strengthens your abs, shoulders, legs and hip muscles!
So why not do it?! no reason at all!
If you already do the L-sit this 3 simple exercises will help you improve your form and make it easier to do.
If you can't do the L-sit then they will help you get the "right" muscles strong enough in order to progress and do the L-sit
The exercises are:
* 1. sit with a small split and put both your hands on the ground next to your knee (the further away from you the better) then lift the leg between you hands as high as you can, do this 10 times and switch legs. this will get you hip and abs stronger in order to lift the legs
* 2. sit in a whole sit (with your legs straight and tight to one another) then put your hands on the ground next to your knees and lift your legs up as high and as close to your chest as you can. do 2 sets of 10 lifts
this is very similar to the first exercise but it puts more tension on your muscles and is generally harder to do
* 3. with the same sit and hand position as before this time lift your body up as high as you can leaving your feet on the ground by pushing the ground down with you shoulders ans your arms straight. hold this position for 10 sec 3 times and when you get stronger increase the time. this exercise will get your shoulders and arms stronger in order to lift your entire body weight from the ground
If you think there are more things you can do to improve or achieve a L-Sit I'll be happy to read them in the comments below!
Stay Strong
