Topic: Core-cersises?

[Eli "Keylime" Coutch]

What are some good conditioning....things.... for your core. I know L sits and its variations are, but I cant do an L sit. So what are some good things to start out on.

[Dan Elric]

V-sit, plank, side planks, leg lifts, ab wheel, more V-sits, and bicycle, just to name a few.

Yeah, because V-sits are SO much easier than L-sits...

They are to me... I can hold an L-sit, what, for like 20 - 30 seconds max?  I can hold a V-sit for like 2 - 3 minutes max.  Huge difference O.o

With the V-sit though, you can bend your legs so they're easier.

I don't think you'er supposed to bend your knees on V-Sits...

People tend to have differing definitions of v-sit. Some people call this a v-sit, and others call this a v-sit. I think that was the misunderstanding in this case.

Well of course not, I'm just saying it makes them easier for those people that can't do it with their legs straight.

[Hopefulpilot]

Yes, I was thinking the first.

If you bend your legs to V-sit it's not a V-sit. It's a tuck. Of course you can hold a tuck longer than an L-sit.

I don't think anyone can hold a V-sit longer than an L-sit.

[Dan Elric]

To make things clear, this is what I consider the V-sit:




And the L-sit:



That being established, I can hold the V-sit longer than the L-sit.

This is the sort of silliness that ensues when you don't use the search function.

Search this page for the diatribes and lectures on core exercises, please.

[Steven Low]

THIS is a V-sit:



Except with straight legs.


What you posted... that's not even a position that's named.

Oh, and I didn't lock the thread.
