Step-by-step instructions

1
Lie on your back with your legs extended and your arms at your sides, palms down.
2
Press your lower back toward the floor and engage your core.
3
Lift both legs to 90 degrees.
4
Lower your legs to the right, circle them down and around to the left, then bring them back up to 90 degrees.
5
Reverse the direction on the next rep.
6
Continue alternating directions for the prescribed reps.

Keep your lower back pressed down throughout the circular motion — if it lifts, reduce the range of motion. Move slowly and with control.
