- HOW: Begin in an upright seated position with some clearance between your feet and floor. Kick one leg up all the way straight contracting your thigh muscles. Bring the other foot over the top of the straightened leg. The top leg should push down against the other leg creating resistance as you slowly lower the leg down to the starting position.
- FEEL: You should feel your thigh muscles working.
- COMPENSATION: Don’t lower the leg too fast.
