L-sits are a staple in my training. This deceptively challenging bodyweight exercise strengthens the upper body and hip flexors, improves lumbo-pelvic stability, and shoulder and scapular stability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To note, in some variations my body is in more of a “v” shape than an “l.” You may perform this exercise while keeping your torso in a perfectly vertical position, or you may perform the exercise while leaning back, or leaning forward a slight amount. The key is that whatever position you choose to adopt, you do not allow your spine to hyperextend, round, or flex laterally, or your ribcage to flare. But in a traditional l-sit, the torso is generally in a more vertical position. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
