Toe Dip

  1. Lie on your back with your legs up and bent at 90 degrees, with thighs straight up and calves parallel to the floor. Place your hands behind your head and raise your shoulder blades off the floor. Keep your abs contracted and press your lower back into the floor.
  2. Inhale and lower your left leg, moving only from your hip. Dip your toes toward the floor--but don't touch--for a count of 2 ("down, down"). Don't move any other body parts. Exhale and raise your leg for a count of 2 ("up, up"), then inhale as you lower your right leg. Keep your head and shoulders off the floor as you dip and lift. Do 12 reps on each leg.
