EVERYBODY KNOWS HOW TO PLANK, WE DON'T JUDGE, PLANKING IS GREAT. BUT PLANKING EVERYDAY CAN GET A BIT MUNDANE...

SO WE'RE HERE TO SUGGEST YOU DIVERSIFY A LITTLE BIT, WHY NOT TRY AN L-SIT?

L'SITS ARE ONE OF THOSE EXERCISES THAT LOOK REALLY EASY (WHEN SOMEONE ELSE IS DOING IT!) BUT ARE ACTUALLY VERY HARD TO MASTER, BUT SO WORTH IT!

AN ISOMETRIC EXCERSISE MUCH LIKE A PLANK, THE L-SIT WILL GIVE YOU A FULL BODY WORKOUT USING YOUR BODYWEIGHT TO WORK YOUR CORE, STRENGTH & STABILITY. IT'S A WORKOUT THAT CAN BE PERFORMED EASILY IN YOUR LIVING ROOM OR YOUR HOME GYM, WITH MINIMAL EQUIPMENT NEEDED.

BENEFITS OF THE L-SIT

WORKS A RANGE OF MUSCLES AT THE SAME TIME: ABS, OBLIQUES, HIP FLEXORS, QUADS, TRICEPS, SHOULDERS, PECS AND LATS
DEVELOPS MIDLINE STABILITY & STRENGTH
STABILISES THE SPINE
HELPS IMPROVE OTHER EXERCISES LIKE PUSHUPS, DEADLIFTS AND BARBELL SQUATS
CAN BE DONE WITH LITTLE OR NO EQUIPMENT

STEPS

MAKE SURE YOUR PALMS ARE UNDER YOUR SHOULDERS
LOCK YOUR ELBOWS AT YOUR SIDE
DRAW YOUR SHOULDERS BACK AND DOWN
ENSURE YOUR BACK IS STRAIGHT
LOOK STRAIGHT AHEAD WITH A NEUTRAL NECK
ENGAGE YOUR LATS
ENGAGE YOUR CORE
KEEPING YOUR LEGS STRAIGHT, TOGETHER AND PARALLEL TO THE FLOOR LIFT THEM, KEEPING YOUR TOES POINTED

HOLD FOR A FEW SECONDS, BE SURE NOT TO PUSH YOURSELF TOO MUCH TOO SOON AND RISK INJURY. EVEN A FEW SECONDS IS A GREAT ACHIEVEMENT TO BEGIN!

ITS EASY ENOUGH TO START ON THE FLOOR, OR WITH ANY 2 SOLID, EVEN SURFACES UNDER YOUR HANDS. IF YOU ENJOY AN ISOMETRIC WORKOUT AND NEED A NEW CHALLENGE TO KEEP YOUR DAILY WORKOUT VARIED, WE SUGGEST YOU INVEST IN PARALLETTE OR EQUALISER BARS

PARALETTES ARE EASY TO TRANSPORT FOR A QUICK WORKOUT IN THE PARK AND CAN BE USED FOR A RANGE OF OTHER SIMPLE EXERCISES INCLUDING PUSH-UPS, DIPS, LEG RAISES, MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS AND KNEE RAISES. THE PERFECT ADDITION FOR YOUR HOME GYM!

YOGA/PILATES BRICKS ARE A GREAT EXAMPLE OF A PAIR OF SOLID EVEN SURFACES YOU MAY ALREADY HAVE AT HOME, OR INVEST IN A PAIR OF KETTLEBELLS FROM OUR WIDE SELECTION OF WEIGHTS AND STYLES.
