How to do it

Lie on your side, placing your head on your hand. Ensure that your head, shoulders, and hips are aligned in a straight line. Gently straighten your legs and slightly pull them forward, while keeping your shoulders and hips stacked on top of each other. Engage your core by keeping your abdomen tense throughout the exercise. Maintain stability by using your lower leg as an anchor. Begin by lifting the top leg, raising it to hip level. Take two quick pulses forward, and then straighten the leg back. Exhale as you pull the leg forward, and inhale as you straighten the leg.
