Pose of a boat

A FANTASTIC firmer for thighs and tummies. Do not attempt if you are pregnant.

Sit straight, with both legs straight out in front of you. Place your arms parallel to the floor. Inhale and, as you exhale, gently lift your legs from the floor, balancing on your bottom. Hold for one count to begin with, and gradually increase this to ten as you improve. Lower your legs to the floor and relax.

Lie on your back, draw your knees to your chest and gently rock your back from side to side to relieve any lower back tension.

Repeat sequence twice.
