Lay on the side of your body with your legs extending out.Rest your head onto your arm and the other arm onto your upper hip. Begin by raising the top leg up and lower it down (do not rest it onto your other leg ) and raise it back up. To challenge your self why not place a ankle weight onto your ankle.
