L-Sit Leg Raise
Seated with the hands pressing the floor beside the hips, the straight legs lift from the floor up past horizontal and lower again: the L-sit on the move.
How to do it
Setup
Seated on the floor, legs straight together, hands flat beside the hips, arms straight.
Steps
- Press down through the hands and lift the straight legs high.
- Keep the knees locked and the chest up.
- Lower the legs to just above the floor and repeat.
Common mistakes
Bending the knees to lift higher: keep them straight and lift less. Shoulders shrugging up: press them down away from the ears. Legs crashing down: lower them slowly.
Breathing
Exhale lifting, inhale lowering.
