Instructions

Start by lying on your back with your legs flat on the floor. Then bring one knee up into your chest, and hold your shin with your hands. Use your arms then to pull this bent leg in towards your chest as much as you can. During the stretch, lift your shoulders and head up off the floor. Your spare leg should hover just above the floor.
