For the Inner Thigh:
Lie on your right side, both legs straight. (Always keep your buttocks muscles contracted, as it gives you support) Lean on your right elbow. Grab your left ankle with your left hand and bring left leg straight up towards the ceiling. Then, bring left leg down (keep it bent) and place over right leg. The left leg now forms an arc over the right leg. The right leg remains straight. Now life the right leg up and down in a scissors type motion, with inner right thigh facing ceiling. You should feel the pill on your right inner thigh. Do 20 times, with right toes pointed; 20 times toes flexed; 20 times alternating pointing and flexing.


For Abdomen:
Lie on your back with knees bent, feet apart. Squeeze your knees together. Lock your hands together at the base of your neck, tuck your chin to your chest. Elbows should be parallel to your ears so your chest is open. (It is important not to put pressure on your neck) Sit up slowly, concentrating on pilling the lower stomach muscles. This is not a full sit up; just lift your upper body 6 inches or so from the mat. To 10 times slowly; then 20 times double time, without lowering your body all the way to the floor between raises. Remember to exhale on the effort as you rise.


For the Outer Thigh:
Kneel on floor on hands and knees, with elbows straight. Keep left leg bent; lift leg out to the side (your outer leg should face the ceiling). Lift 50 times, each leg. On all exercises, make sure you exhale on the effort.
