    To start, lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Don’t press your neck or lower back to the floor. Breathe deeply. You should feel comfortable and relaxed in this position.

    • Pull one knee to your chest.

    • Hold for 30-60 seconds. Return to starting position.

    • Repeat 2 times.

    • Switch legs.

    • For a double leg pull, pull both legs to your chest at the same time. Repeat 2 times.

    For your safety, check with your healthcare provider before starting an exercise program.
