How to do Lsit
- Place your palms beside your hips, with your fingers spread and pointing forward.
- Keep your legs together and engage your thighs to straighten your knees.
- Point your toes forward without curling them tightly.
- Firm your abdomen to support your pelvis as you prepare to lift.
- Press the floor away through both palms to lift your hips.
- Lift both heels, keeping your legs extended in front of you.
- Keep pressing down so your shoulders stay away from your ears.
- Lower your hips and heels to the floor with control.
Variations
Keep your heels grounded while you practice lifting only your hips. Press into two stable blocks beside your hips for extra clearance.
