• Lie on your left side with your knees bent to about 90 degrees and your feet in line with your tailbone. Make sure your hips are stacked and your spine is neutral (no arching or hunching).

• Inhale as you slowly lower your knee back down with control. This counts as one rep.
• Complete 12 to 14 reps before switching sides.
