This exercise is done lying on your back and lifting your legs in several variations. You can do this exercise with one leg at the time or with two legs together.
a. Figure 1 shows the first beginning position. Your legs are spread as wide as possible.
b. Figure 2 shows the second beginning position. Your legs make an angle of about 30 degrees.
c. Figure 3 shows the third beginning position. Your legs are together.
d. The figures 4/6 show the end positions for the beginning position in figure 3. You lift up your legs or one leg and do this in three different ways: Your foot normal, your foot turned inward as much as possible, foot turned as much as possible outward.
e. Do the same exercise for the other beginning positions. Make as many reps as you can, then rest, repeat reps, rest and then do the third series of reps.
Please tell me about your experiences or your ideas for other exercises or variations.
