Instructions:

  1. Lie on your left side, flat against the floor.
  2. Rest your head on your left upper arm.
  3. Bend your right (top) leg at the knee and cross over in front of left leg.
  4. Rest your right arm on your right hip.
  5. Keep your left leg straight. Using inner thigh muscle lift left leg 6 inches off floor. Keep left toe in flexed position (not a pointed position).
  6. Exhale (breathe out) as you lift your leg.
  7. Using resistance with the inner thigh muscle (not gravity), slowly lower your leg.
  8. Inhale (breathe in) as you lower your leg.
  9. Repeat exercise for a set of 8.
  10. Repeat entire sequence on your right side, step 1-9

For additional resistance put a weightlifting bar on the foot you are lifting as shown in the picture.

Good Luck!
