Description

Start in an upright seated position with some space between your feet and the floor. Extend one leg fully by contracting the thigh muscles. Bring the other foot over the extended leg. The top leg should press against the other leg, thereby creating resistance while you slowly lower the leg back to the starting position. Do not lower the leg too quickly.
