L-Sit - Parkour Training and Conditioning Exercise

A classic gymnastics exercise, the L-sit is a phenomenal exercise for developing abdominal and hip flexor strength and flexibility. With the obvious similarites between parkour conditioning and gymnastics conditioning, an L-sit is a great core exercise addition to any traceur's training regiment.

Is it ok if, for flexibility reasons i can't fully extend my legs and so i keep them bent?

[DemonDrills]

@pivotiano yes, but work on your pike stretch so that you can keep them straight eventually.

i just can hold for 10sec LOL

nice vid

[DemonDrills]

a 1-2 minute L-sit is a great goal to shoot for. Get there and you will have developed very useful and solid core stability.

@DemonDrills Alright, thanks :)

@DemonDrills lmao k thanks

[DemonDrills]

@NDzibyrules its either strength or flexibility. start with bent legs and over time, progress to straighter. work on your pike stretch also.

[NDzibyrules]

@DemonDrills how are you able to put your legs straight out? is that a flexibility issue? what can i do to help that?

[sobeski18lesko]
