Airplane pose. Stand with your feet together, and arms at your sides. Find a spot on the
ground, about 5 feet ahead of you to look at, to help maintain your balance. Place yourself
about 2 feet from a piece of furniture or other sturdy object to use for support if
needed. Keeping your stomach muscles tight and your back flat, lift your left foot up
behind you and bend forward, keeping a straight line between your foot and your head. Continue
to lift the leg and drop the chest until your leg is parallel to the ground until you can't
go any further, and maintain your balance. Extend arms out to the sides, like airplane
wings, and hold for 3 counts. Switch sides, and repeat for desired number of repetitions,
continuing to breathe and keeping your abdominal muscles engaged.
