Leg Lower
Lie down on your back and bring your legs up by bending at the knees. Now extend your legs so that they are vertical and straight.
Place your hands out to the side for balance and support. Now slowly lower your legs from the hip, keeping them straight. As your legs get lower you will feel your back will want to arch upwards, don't let it. Keep your tummy drawn in and firm to prevent the desire of your back to arch.
Only lower as far as you feel in control and can stop the back from arching. When you reach this point raise your legs back up to vertical and repeat.
You will find that at the start you will not be able to lower your legs that far. Over time, as your stomach gets stronger, you will be able to go lower and lower. Take your time and only progress when you are actually ready.
