How to do it

  1. Sit with legs extended and hands placed behind you, fingers pointing forward.
  2. Lift your hips to form a straight line from shoulders to heels.
  3. Keep one leg extended in line with your body while lifting the other leg upwards.
  4. Hold briefly at the top, return the leg, and switch sides.
