Exercise Profile

L-Sit Overview

The L-Sit workout is a bodyweight exercise that primarily targets the abdominal muscles.

It involves sitting on the ground with legs extended and lifting the body off the floor using the arms.

This workout effectively engages the abs, while also working the hip flexors, shoulders, and triceps to a lesser extent.
