L sit is an abdominal plus tricep and shoulder work out. This is a somewhat core hardening exercise and it tones your abdominal groups quite well if done right.
So pretty much just plant your butt on the ground, straighten your elbows, and pick yourself up with your traps until your butt comes off of the ground. If you're flexible enough in your hamstrings, you can pull your legs back into a V sit which is also a variation of it. Further more you can also take this movement to the next level by doing it on your finger tips. But if you haven't done this yet or you are not very good at it, don't try it on your fingertips. Good luck!
