Leg Circle

  1. Lie on your back, right leg extended towards the ceiling, toes pointed, and hands by your sides, palms down. Extend your left leg straight along the floor. Feel the stretch in the back of your right thigh and calf. (If this position is uncomfortable, you can bend your left leg and place your left foot flat on the floor.) Hold for 10 to 60 seconds.
  2. Make a large circle on the ceiling with your right leg, rotating from your hip. Inhale as you begin the circle and exhale as you finish. Keep your body as still as possible--no rocking--by tightening your abs. Do six circles, then reverse direction for six more. Repeat on the other leg.
