Instructions

1. Start by lying flat on your back on a comfortable surface, with your arms extended by your sides for stability.

2. Lift your legs off the ground, keeping them straight and bringing them up towards the ceiling.

3. Once your legs are straight up, lower one leg down towards the ground as you cross it over the other.

4. Stop just before the hovering leg touches the ground, then lift it back up as you uncross your legs.

5. As the first leg goes up, lower the opposite leg down towards the ground, crossing it over the first leg.

6. Continue alternating legs in this criss-crossing motion.

7. Focus on keeping the movement controlled, using your core muscles to maintain stability.

8. Breathe steadily throughout the exercise, exhaling as you lift your legs up and inhaling as you lower them down.

9. Aim to complete a set number of repetitions or perform the exercise for a set duration of time.

10. Rest between sets and maintain good form throughout the exercise.
