  • Begin by lying on your back
  • Raise the right leg towards the ceiling. Get legs as straight as possible (it’s ok if you can’t).

  • Continue this until you can touch your foot.
  • “Climb” back down your leg in the same way you went up.
  • Keep your abdominals contracted throughout the motion. Don’t let your trunk simply fall back down.
