Directions:
1. Lie on your back with arms at your sides, palms facing down.
2. Lift head and shoulders off the floor. Holding right knee, extend left leg out. (The distance between your raised leg and the floor will depend on your abdominal strength and the weight of your leg. If you are careful not to arch your back, you will not overextend your leg.)
3. Keeping head in alignment and elbows bent, slowly switch sides, grasping left knee and extending right leg. Breathe in for two changes; breathe out for two changes.
4. Do 10 changes, or 5 moves per side.
