2. Lift one leg up, keeping your knee bent and your foot flat, so that the sole of your foot points towards the ceiling.
3. Bring your leg back down and stay in the position but swap legs.
4. Do the same with your other leg. If it feels too easy, you're not doing it right, take it slowly and you'll feel more of a burn. Repeat on each leg 10-12 times.
