L-Sit Leg Lifts

Start by sitting on the floor with your legs out in front of you with a pair of dumbbells or Parallettes behind your hips. Either hold onto the handles in a neutral fashion or use the edge of the hex dumbbell to hold your hips off the ground with your heels still on the ground. Using your entire body especially the core and your legs, lift your heels off the ground for a second or two squeezing your abs before lowering your heels back to the ground. These may be difficult if you cannot perform a full L-Sit yet. You can modify these by keeping a slight bend in the knees until you develop the strength to do them with locked legs.
