Hanging L-Sit Hold

This move challenges your core as well as your hamstring flexibility and the strength of your hip flexors, Eric and Ryan told POPSUGAR.

  • Jump up to a bar (or step onto a box if you need help reaching), and hang from the bar with both palms facing away from you.
  • Use your abdominal muscles to raise both feet as high as you can, keeping your legs straight. Aim for parallel or higher, if you can.
  • Hold this position for as long as you can, working up to 20 to 30 seconds.
  • This counts as one rep.
