The Abs

Cara at gymnastics.

The L-sit is often a misunderstood movement. Athletes comment that it is hard to balance or that there arms get tired. The reality is that the isometric contraction of the abs is how we develop core strength. In a static environment, we develop capacity that transfers to high speed and heavy weighted movements.
