Lie on your back, with fingers laced behind your head as a pillow. Raise your legs as straight as you can above your hips. Lift your tailbone about 1 inch off the ground, slowly lower it back down, and then lift again. Don't allow your chin to press into your chest; leave a tennis ball's distance between the two. Work up to 25 lift-lowers, keeping legs raised throughout.

Advanced: Simultaneously lift tailbone and shoulders, always resting head in your hands, so your neck stays relaxed.
