|
Lying supine (on your back), pull one leg towards the chest as much as possible and hold it there. The opposite foot should remain planted on the floor with the toes pulled up towards the shin. |
|
Push the planted foot into the floor causing the hips to raise towards the ceiling all the while keeping the opposite thigh pulled close to the chest. The motion stops when the thigh can no longer be kept close to the chest and/or the planted foot and thigh stray from the initial position. |
|
Alternate legs, performing the movement for desired number of repetitions. |
