Description

  • Lie on your back with your knees bent, feet placed flat on the ground about 12 to 14 inches from the hips.
  • Keeping your hands out to the sides to help balance, lift your hips up so that thighs and trunk form a straight line.
  • Slowly lift one leg straight in the air while balancing on the other leg.
  • Keep your hips up and your pelvis perfectly level.
  • Slowly place the other foot down before bringing your hips back to the ground.

ProTip
