Directions:

1) Lie on the floor with your left side down. Your head, shoulders and hips should all be aligned.

2) Bend your left leg, putting your right hand in front of you for support and balance.

3) Keeping your right leg straight and your foot flexed, slowly raise your right leg. Hold for a moment, then lower your leg. Repeat for 8-12 reps. Relax and repeat.

4) Then, turn around or turn over onto your other side and do two sets of 8-12 reps on that side.

Variation: Rather than lifting your leg, move your top leg forward and backward slowly. You will feel a slight burning as your body gets used to this movement.
