1. Stretch. It took me about 3-4 months to do this pose. Some asked whether I did gymnastics before. No. Hated workout before 40 years old. Now practice Pilates and Yoga once in a while. I am fortunate that I am flexible naturally.
2. Side stretch. Hold it for 30 seconds 3 times.
3. Feet with sand bags. 2.5 LB per foot to create resistance. Hold it 30 seconds 3 times. Very challenging and very good for ab too.
4. Up, front, back kick. 20 times each. The back kick is very good for butt, too.
