Hints

Lying on your back with your arms by your sides for stability, lift your legs into the air keeping your legs nearly straight, rotate your hips to twist your legs to one side creating a circle motion, then return to center. Repeat on the opposite side.

Common Mistakes

Allowing the lower back to lift off the ground, using momentum to swing the legs rather than controlled movements, and not keeping the legs together or straight throughout the movement.

Breathing

Exhale as you twist your hips and legs to the side. Inhale as you return to the center position.
