How To Do It

Lie flat on your back with your knees bent and the soles of your feet flat against the floor. Lifting your feet off the floor, press your knees into your chest. Spread your arms wide on either side, and drop your knees to one side. Look over your opposite shoulder. Hold. Repeat on the other side.
