Lie on your left side with elbow under the shoulder, abs engaged, legs in line with your body, and toes pointing forward. Bring your top leg behind (pictured) or in front, foot on the floor. Use your top hand for support on the floor in front of you.
Exhale and lift your bottom leg up as high as you can with control.
Inhale and lower back down to complete one rep. Repeat 8 times.
