7. Hip and Leg Lift:
A pilates based exercise that works the back, hips and thighs.
Sit reclined -- fingers turned towards your body -- with your legs extended straight out in front of you. Lift yourself up till your body is in a straight diagonal plane. This is the start position. Lift the right leg up as high as you can and as you lower it down, lower your hips towards the floor without letting them rest the floor. Keep alternating legs.
Do 16 reps, rest and repeat.
