YOUR DAILY WORKOUT

Knee tuck lift: Lie on your back, holding a pillow or book to your chest, legs stretched straight out. Now bend your knees and tuck them towards your chest. And as you do this, lift your hands to hold the pillow over your face. Return to start

b position; do 15 reps.

Inner-thigh lift: Lie on your back. Hold the pillow or book between your two clenched calves. Now lift your legs slowly, being careful not to drop the prop. At the same time, lift your neck slowly off the mat or bed. Lie back down. Do as many reps as possible in 45 seconds.
