Difficulty: Moderate
Start: Lie down on stomach. Then, begin by propping upper body up onto elbows/forearms, with hands together in prayer position. Engage inner abdominal muscles by bringing belly button inward. Keeping spine steady, lift hips and knees so you’re resting on toes, creating a straight line from ankles to shoulders.
Exercise: Keeping spine steady, lift one leg 6-8 inches. Hold this position for 10-20 seconds. (Option 1).
If this is relatively easy, try bringing the leg horizontal out to one side as far as you can, keeping torso steady. Hold this position 10-20 seconds. (Option #2)
Switch legs, and repeat. Perform3-5 sets of this exercise per side. Be careful not to strain lower back.
