- 3Transition quickly between movements, but ensure that you are fully ready for the L-Sit Hold to maximize accumulated time.
- 4If you feel your form breaking down during the L-Sit, consider lowering the height of your feet.
- 5Stay mindful of your breathing during the Air Bike effort to maximize performance and recovery.
