PREPARATION:

1. Sit on the floor with your arms extended diagonally forward and upward, palms down.

2. Place your feet on the floor, knees bent.
EXECUTION:

1. Leaning back slightly, lift the right leg up (straight) so that the tops of both thighs are level
with each other.

2. At this point, the lifted leg and the arms parallel each other.

3. Hold the position, breathing normally, or you may find yourself panting, which is all right.

4. Hold for 20 seconds, then switch.

NOTE: If your torso is already very strong, raise both bent legs at the same time and hold to
fatigue. Keep the back rounded backward just a bit.
 

  

For the very advanced, raise both straightened legs. Be sure to keep the back rounded out a bit.
