"The next exercise is called the double leg kick. So, to begin, lay down with your head on one side and your arms relaxing with your hands lightly clasped on your lower back. You navel is pulled up and your belly button is off the mat as much as possible. On the exhale, pulse your legs twice. And on the inhale, stretch up keeping your knees off the mat. Your hands may either be out by your sides, stretching away, or, for a more intense stretch, you can clasp them and pull your shoulders open. And switch. And up. And on the exhale, pulse. And relax."
