How to Perform this E-cise

- Let your arms hang down at your sides.

- Lift one foot 4 to 6 inches off the floor and then lower; repeat as directed on your menu.
- Use your front hip muscles to generate the movement.
- Maintain the arch in your back, keeping your hips rolled forward throughout the e-cise.
