Workout guidance

How to Use This Workout

Use this workout 1–2 times per week as a dedicated L-sit session or alongside your existing calisthenics or core training. It can also be paired with an upper-body session, but complete the skill-specific work before heavy core training so you can practice with better control.

Pro Tip

Think about actively pushing down while lifting up. Strong support through your arms and shoulders creates the space you need to lift your hips and legs. If you can’t straighten your legs yet, maintain a strong supported position and gradually progress your extension.
