  • Keeping your legs together, slowly raise your knees upward
    towards your right shoulder as far as you can. Slightly tuck your pelvis forward. Hold for a second flexing your abdominals.
  • Your lower legs (from knees to toes) should be vertical.
  • Slowly lower your legs to the starting position in a controlled
    manner.
  • Alternate to the left side, and so on.

Don'ts
