Instructions

1. Sit on the floor with your legs together straight out in front of you
2. Place your hands to your side with fingers facing forward
3. Engage your shoulders by pushing them apart
4. Tense up your legs and push down into the ground, lifting your body off the ground
5. Maintain the L sit position for the desired amount of time

Key points

• Placement of your hands forward of your hips will help you get a little more elevation, but you will need to have enough hamstring flexibility
• Work on your forward bend flexibility if you are having trouble getting off the ground
