Directions:

1. Lie on your back with arms at your sides, palms facing down. Pulling in your abs, extend the left leg toward the ceiling, and point your toe.

2. Rotate leg clockwise. Breathe in from 12 o'clock to 6 o'clock; breathe out from 6 o'clock to 12 o'clock. Now rotate in the opposite direction.

3. Return your left leg to floor and begin again, this time extending the right leg.

4. Repeat 5 times on each side.
