Lower Abdominal Strengthening

Lie flat on your back with your knees bent, your feet flat on the floor, and arms by your side or placed lightly on your front pelvis on both sides.

Squeeze your belly muscles and think about pulling your navel in toward your spine. Do not hold your breath; instead, keep breathing smoothly.

Lift one leg off the floor. Then bend that knee toward your chest, stopping when your lower leg hangs horizontally in the air, your knee is straight above your hip, and your leg now looks like the letter "L."

Lift the other leg up to the same level.

Hold both the legs up for 10 to 20 seconds.

Then, slowly bring one leg down and then the other.

Keep switching between both legs and until you have done at least 8 to 12 reps on each side.

Ensure to keep your tummy squeezed and your back still as you are moving your legs as well as breathe normally.
