So Bound Lotus. The arms cross behind the back. So start with one arm at a time. Here's
one and the other. Eventually, you can lean forward and try to grab both at the same time.
Once you have them, lift up. Now, this will help open your hips even further, will help
you rotate your legs outward even deeper in your hip sockets. I'm going to lie flat and
I'm holding the feet to support the legs and yet, I'm reaching the legs. And they don't
have to have to come all the way flat. If I release my belly and spine, arch my back,
of course they would rest on the floor, but, I'm keeping my core engaged. So here's an
ab toner you can do that will stretch the legs and really tone the core. Keep your spine
neutral, pelvis neutral, reach your legs down and "whooh", come up, "ahh", from the belly.
And each time you pull them up, you can tie your leg a little come there, like that. "Whoohh",
hopefully you can see my pelvis is remaining still and my belly pulling in and working
hard. Now maybe do ten or twenty of those to build up to and then hugs the knee in,
rest.
