Round It Up!

Begin this exercise laying on your right side with your right upper arm on the floor, your head resting in your hand and your legs extended. Lift your top (left) leg a few inches off the floor and make small forward circles, continue for a predetermined time, 30 seconds for example, and switch directions.
When you have finished circling in both directions, lower your leg, take a deep breath and lift the leg again for 15-20 small pulses. Lower and roll to the other side! You will feel this in the small muscles of your butt, the ones we often forget!

When doing this exercise, flex your feet and reach your top leg out beyond (will be VERY slight) your bottom leg. This will help to engage your core muscles and lift your right (if you are on your right side) oblique muscles off the floor.
