MOVEMENT 1

8-12 reps each side (1 rep = leg in + leg up)

IMG_0619Start with one leg bent up so that your calf is parallel to the ground; hover the other leg 6″ off the ground

IMG_0611
Bring your straight leg up to meet the other so that both calves are parallel to the ground
IMG_0619
Keeping that same leg bent up so that your calf is parallel to the ground; straighten the other leg back out so that it is 6″ off the ground again {same movement as step 2}

Lastly, shoot the leg straight up to the sky so that your knees are side by side

Do this for 8-12 reps (6-8 reps for modified) on the same side – then repeat the movement for the opposite side

MOVEMENT 2

8-12 reps total (1 rep = twist side to side with 1 leg up)

Start on your back with both legs extended and arms at your chest

Bring one leg up and twist to the opposite side
IMG_0629
Twist to the other side while keeping the same leg up; all of these steps equal 1 rep

Go back down and repeat the steps with the opposite leg going up and the other one staying straight out; all of this would equal the second rep

MOVEMENT 3

8-12 reps each side

Start on your back with one leg pointed straight to the sky; place the other in a figure 4 placing your opposite ankle on your knee
