Do not try this exercise until you've mastered Leg Raise Beginners

• Raise your right leg slowly for a count of 5
• Try not to bend at the knee
• Hold in the upright position for a count of 20
• Return the leg for a count of 5
• Relax and breathe for a count of 30
• Repeat with the left leg

Points to watch

• Do not move your shoulders and hips from the floor
• Go only as far as is comfortable
• Work slowly to bring the leg up a little higher each session/week.
• This may take days, weeks or months.  That's fine.

 

If you've mastered this and feel really masochistic try this.

• Raise your right leg slowly for a count of 5
• Raise your left leg slowly for a count of 5
• Hold both legs in position for a count of 10
• Return the right leg for a count of 5.
• Return the left leg for a count of 5.
• And relax

You can also try both legs together.
