Parallette L-Sit to Handstand
- 1 - Set up two parallettes on the floor, shoulder-width apart, and grip them firmly with your palms facing inward or forward.
- 2 - Begin in an L-Sit position: press into the parallettes to lift your body off the ground, extend your legs straight out in front of you parallel to the floor, and engage your core and hip flexors tightly.
- 3 - From the L-Sit, tuck your knees into your chest to initiate the transition, shifting your weight slightly forward over your wrists.
- 4 - Kick or press your legs upward in a controlled manner, moving through a tuck or straddle position as you invert your body above the parallettes.
- 5 - Extend your legs fully overhead, squeezing your glutes, core, and quads to achieve a locked-out handstand position with arms straight and body in a vertical line.
- 6 - Hold the handstand for the desired duration, maintaining a hollow body position with your gaze directed downward between the parallettes.
- 7 - To return, carefully lower back through the tuck or straddle position and re-establish the L-Sit, or lower down with control to the starting position.
