Instructions
1. Start by standing between the parallel bars, grabbing each bar with your hands firmly planted and arms fully extended.
2. Engage your core muscles and press down onto the bars to lift your body off the ground.
3. While keeping your legs straight and together, raise them in front of you until they are parallel to the ground, forming an "L" shape with your body.
4. Ensure that your arms remain straight, your shoulders are down and away from your ears, and your chest is slightly forward. This will help balance your weight.
5. Keep your core tight and your legs straight throughout the hold. Avoid bending the knees or letting the hips sag down.
6. Hold the position for as long as possible while maintaining good form. Start with short durations and increase the time as your strength improves.
7. Carefully lower your legs and dismount from the bars once you have completed the exercise or if your form begins to suffer.
Note: This is a challenging exercise that requires a significant amount of core strength, so it's important to progress to it gradually. Beginners should start with simpler core exercises and work their way up to the L Sit.
