Leg and abdominal muscle workout

Lie on a yoga mat or on a carpet and recline against a bean-bag or other form of support. Your shoulders as well as neck should be in a relaxed and comfortable position. In addition, ensure that your lower back is well supported too.

Begin by extending one leg upwards and inhale as you do so. After extending your leg, pull it toward your chin thus bending your knee. Then exhale slowly as you start to extend your leg towards the floor. Repeat the process using your other leg.

You will find that this is a ‘flowing movement in which your legs alternately extend and bend with a relaxed stretch, toning the whole abdomen’.

Consult your doctor

Always remember to consult with your doctor before starting any new exercise regime or making intense changes to your current one – especially if you suffer from any medical conditions and for some reason are required not to place your body or yourself under any form of stress or strain.
