Leg Raise and Lower Leg

Lie down on your back.

Raise your legs straight up in the air.

Keeping your lower back relaxed into the ground, slowly lower your legs down to within an inch of the floor and slowly lift them back up.

Repeat this movement ten more times. If this movement pinches or hurts your back, sit on the tops of your hands, with your arms under your body and bend your knees slightly. You shouldn’t feel any pain in your back when you do this movement, so adjust accordingly. When you’re finished, hug your knees into your chest and rock gently from side to side.
