Lie on your right side, right knee bent, left leg out straight, resting on your right elbow and arm. Keeping your left leg straight, move that left forward and then back behind you. Move your left hand forward and back, too, but your arm goes forward when your leg goes back and vice versa. Squeeze the buttocks muscles while lifting back and forth. Work up to ten forward and ten back.

Exercise #2: Lift your legs up and down.

Now keeping your left leg straight, lift it up and down. Squeeze it each time so you feel it where your leg meets your hips. This exercise is targeted to give you that beautiful definition between leg and hip and to give you long, lean legs. Squeeze the buttocks each time you lift. Work up to ten times each leg.

Exercise #3: Bend and lift your legs.

Bend the left knee and lift and lower it up and down. Work up to ten times each leg. Shake out each leg when you're finished.
