Sit on the floor with legs straight out in front. While keeping the legs straight, lift them off the floor and hold them at a 45 degree angle to the floor. At the same time lean the upper body back slightly so it too forms approximately a 45 degree angle to the floor (as shown). Hold the arms forward to help maintain balance and hold this position for 30 seconds. As you gain your balance and get better at the exercise try to straighten you upper back and pull your shoulders back.
