How to do the L-sit
Support yourself on parallel bars, parallettes or the floor with locked elbows.
Push your shoulders down, away from your ears, and lift your body.
Raise your legs straight and together until they're parallel to the floor.
Hold for your target time; bend your knees if it's too hard.
