Rest Day Skill Practice
The L-sit
This exercise is remarkable from several perspectives. It is isometric, functional, and highly effective. Relatively unknown outside of the gymnastics community this exercise may be the most effective abdominal exercise we know of! - Greg Glassman founder of CrossFit
To perform L-sits at home all that you truly need is the floor, however to scale the movement and build proficiency the only equipment two gallon Paint Cans and two Small Ladders.
The higher the support the easier the L-sit variation, the more tucked the easier the L-sit variation.
The demonstrations below show easier to harder for each version on the L-sit, high support, lower support, on the floor. The three variations are Tuck Sit, Half and Half Sit, and L-sit.
*from the floor the final progression is from the fingertips.
Find a variation that works for you and PRACTICE!
Try to get some quality holds in, shoot for a goal of at least 5-10 sets of 10 second holds.
