Begin in a reclining position.   Arms are at the sides with the palms turned down.

Exhaling, bend both knees and place the feet on the floor close to the body.

Inhaling, swing the right foot up so the leg is straight.  Keep the knees next to each other. (For an extra hamstring stretch push the heel away from the body.)  Then lower the leg to the floor keeping the leg straight as you bring it down.

Exhaling, return the right foot to the floor.

Do this same procedure with the left leg.

Leg lifts can be repeated for a total of 3 times on each side.
